depict [dih-pikt] - verb (used with object)

🔸to represent by or as if by painting; portray; delineate.
🔸to represent or characterize in words; describe.
🔸a film lasting no more than 90 seconds that challenges your perspective

Short film continues to inspire audiences around the world with all forms of filmmaking included. DepicT! takes the short format of filmmaking and shrinks it down even further to the very essence of the idea behind the film. Every film starts with an idea and often blossoms into something much grander. Depict takes the idea and sticks with it, emphatically. The end result can be funny, informative, scary and as real as anything you have ever seen!

What can you do in 90 seconds? Tidy your desk, brush your teeth, make the bed? Or maybe inspire and challenge your outlook on a subject you never considered before. You can do a lot in 90 seconds!

Depict 2020 is on right now at Encounters Film Festival. Check their website out for more details to watch this and many other inspiring short films.
