To SHINE Brighter Than the Sun

By Tanner Sell

SHINE is a short-film that relays the ideas and propositions of many young people for calibrating their lifestyle to a post-pandemic world. Producer Jake Mascolo manages to weave together a collection of deeply moving and inspiring messages in a way that contributes to a greater theme. 

Lockdowns and remote life certainly had an impact on the lives of millions of young people, yet through the SHINE project, it becomes clear that no hope has been lost in the process. Evident amongst each person’s testimony is the vision of a better future, not a worse one. By spreading love through art and dialogue, that future can be fostered directly within the hands of the youth today.

Jake Mascolo should be applauded for his ability to cultivate these ideas and display them in a way that is deeply enriching and inspiring. The SHINE project, facilitated by Planet Classroom and Creative Visions, is a wonderful step in the right direction for our future. 

I am pleased to rate this film with 5 out of 5 stars.
