Stop. Look. Listen. BY Christina Cannarella
Contest Name: Lost in Translation Submission Date :11-21-2017, Uploaded By : Christina Cannarella
Directed By :  Christina Cannarella, Filmmaker,,
Inspiration: So often, we think we know what people want and need especially those closest to us. We don’t take the time to STOP and breathe in order to LOOK and observe at what someone might be attempting to tell us. We let our frustrations and stress block our ability to effectively LISTEN to another person. Whether they are capable of speaking with words or not, it does not matter.

It was very moving and visceral. When it ended, I wondered why the boy didn’t use the voice box sooner to say that he needed to go to the bathroom.
