"A Pistol Against My Head" Trailer from Luca&Sinem on Vimeo.

"A Pistol against my head" is an animated documentary film directed by Luca Schenato & Sinem Vardarli, commissioned and produced by Mosaic Films.
We have created one of the three serial short animated documentaries from "Animated Minds" series, narrated by Veterans – aimed at addressing the stereotypes, prejudice and misinformation surrounding War Trauma.

This film tells the real-life story of Hugh, an ex-army soldier and engineer, who is coping with the psychological fallout of war following tours in Northern Ireland and Bosnia.
We try to give a visually compelling and engaging way of understanding what it is to suffer from mental ill health - in this case, from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
