Short film on panic attacks | "Hold on" - Directed by Charlotte Scott-Wilson

Kyra is a young cellist on her way to becoming an outstanding soloist. When in the middle of an important concert one of the strings of her cello comes lose and she has to string it back up, she is struck by a panic attack. By the time she is done she is shaking, sweating and feels like she is going to die. She tries to shake it off, but the next day she is back on the stage. Her hands won’t stop shaking and if she can’t get them to stop this could shatter her career. Kyra tries everything to make her panic disappear, but within the orchestra fraternity it is absolutely not common to talk about sensitive subjects. Her anxiety and loneliness only grows becoming too much to handle, but quitting is not an option. She must beat her stage fright.

This girl looked so strong so it just goes go show that no matter now physically strong you are it doesn’t make you mentally strong people just see the person on the outside not the little girl on the inside who needs support to keep going and not give up
Great film
Btw did anyone else notice the violinist weren’t touching the violins
