About this Short Film
6 Words - A Visual Diary (Amanda Mwenda, Australia, 2025). This short stop motion piece offers a quiet, observational look at themes of chronic condition, mental health and everyday stress from the viewpoint of a young adult. Rather than present a set plot, the film moves like a personal notebook of images and small gestures, tracing individual moments and coping. Mwenda uses handcrafted visuals and careful rhythms to make complex feelings visible without relying on dialogue. Presented in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival, it sits within a programme that celebrates the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability.

Amanda this film deserves so much more recognition than the zero comments it has received so far. I've finally been catching up on all these short films tonight and yours is the first I've hit replay on and even now I want to go back and watch it again. It's not perfect but you know how to tell a story and your creative visuals are refreshing. Keep creating. I look forward to seeing your creativity develop. Just don't substitute one addiction for another
