FEAR
a film by Dawn Dreyer + Andrea Love

Picture
Fea​r is both a stand alone animated short and part of the feature length film Bipolar Girl Rules the World.
​Dr. Zenglo Chen remembers his childhood in Beijing at the height of the Chinese Cultural Revolution:
 
“I start my depression when I was close to 4 years old. My parents were prosecuted and they'd been taken away by the Chinese authority. My younger sister who was 12 years old then took care of me [in my] daily life. She even had hard time to take care herself. I felt tremendous fear: hopeless, helpless, and paralyzed.”
 
Told in Zenglo’s own words, with exquisitely crafted hand-drawn and stop-motion animation, Fear considers the consequences of deep fear that outlives its utility during one life phase, and morphs into a dangerous entity of its own. Zenglo speaks with grace and humor from the midst of his journey, sharing his learned wisdom, small victories, and ordinary joys. ​
