About this Short Film
Same Same: But Different (Tawa College, New Zealand, 2019) offers a quiet, honest look at teenagers negotiating school, group life, dreams and the routines of medication. Rather than a set narrative, the film pieces together moments that reflect how mental health and mental illness touch young people and their peers. Shot with sensitivity, it invites viewers to notice small gestures, shared spaces and the ways friendship and support can matter. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, this work sits alongside films that highlight the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. A thoughtful short for educators, families and anyone interested in youth wellbeing.
