“You don’t have to give up one life, just to go and live another one. You are more than just ‘Sky.'” There’s a worth watching short film available to watch online about the music industry and mental health and how tough it can be. The short is titled I Love You, Guys (stylized in all lower case as “i love you, guys“) and it’s directed by filmmaker Billie Melissa Rogan, making her fiction directorial debut. She’s also working on another short doc and a few other films. Written by Cory Varney. A young singer on the verge of super-stardom, and the brink of a breakdown, must shake her demons before they derail her dreams and ruin the finale of her sellout tour. Starring Becky Bush as Sky, with Celi Crossland & Pedro Leandro. The film is an intimate look at the opposite side of stardom, the pressure and intensity of fame and how hard it can be on artists. While many are familiar with this (thanks to the stories about musicians like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse) this film puts the spotlight on the mental health struggles, not on the fame and glory.
