Powerful Real Stories is a mental health campaign that focus on poor mental health wellbeing in women and the use of social media.There’s a lot of pressure for people to make themselves or their lives look great with the perfect filter, but sometimes they’re just trying to cover up what’s really going on.

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, women’s mental health has seen a huge decline. Bupa commissioned a research study to understand the gaps in mental health support. The research revealed some harrowing realities into the mental health stressors, personal impact and the delays in treatments.

The two films were made both for social and TVC, this is Bupa's most successful online campaign, it received over 3M organic views combined. Full Campaign hereBupa's website, BUPA UK Youtube: Alice's Story and Angela's Story.

I had the opportunity to not only be the editor of this powerful campaign but be there for the 12 hours shoot, which I was surrounded by extremely talented and mostly female crew. I captured some behind the scenes photography as well as some videos and pulled the actors for a quick 5min interview. 

I feel extremely blessed to have had this experience and to see this campaign come to life from start to finish.
