EVEN LITTLE SMALL THINGS MATTER IN THIS WORLD!

 “The Mystery and Wonder of Flowers” – A Story by a Film Production Art Student

“It is just unimaginable how a flower can play a part in curing a boy, Gavin in his 20’s, from a serious body dysmorphic disorder,” has revealed Laisa Gloria, a student in Film Production Art at Mediavision Academy that offers training programs preparing students for a variety of career paths in the film production industry.

Gloria has written a short silent film titled “The Flower” depicting how a flower saved Gavin’s life and how critically important it [the flower] was in helping him with his battle with dysmorphic disorder.  “I got the idea after witnessing the surprise healing of the 20-year-old boy from an allergic disease,” she said.  “A flower can do wonders and save lives.”

 

‘The Flower’ is a story about Gavin who suffered serious body dysmorphic disorder when he gets exposed to the sun.  He tries out different mixtures making efforts to find a solution to the illness that appeared to be incurable.  He gets a clue from his dead mother’s letter advising him to stay away from the sun and/or use a flower.  After finding himself in a situation where he has to go into the sun, he suffers serious consequences.  This prompts him to try to get a cure for it.  Luckily and after many attempts, he eventually finds the right treatment, uses it and gets back to a normal life.

Aloyo Annet, Director of Studies at the Academy and screenwriter, supervised the implementation of the project proposal of the silent film ‘The Flower’; a short thriller movie created to anchor the audience of all the age groups.  “The reason for writing this story is to show that even little things matter in this world,” said Gloria who has joined the Academy in September 2022.

“Writing a short thriller film can be daunting, but is one of the best ways to improve your screenwriting and get noticed in a film landscape as a whole,” asserted Aloyo Annet who holds a bachelor’s degree in Education from the Makerere University, and a diploma in Mass Communications and Journalism from United Media Consultant and Trainers (UMCAT), in Kampala, Uganda.

Laisa Gloria is in love with roses, the traditional flower of love, but little she knew the medicinal properties of flowers.  Besides, ProFlowers^®, a leader in online gift-giving and flower delivery, asserts that roses contain a good deal of Vitamin C and are very safe for human consumption. The petals can be eaten raw to increase blood circulation, and they also relieve depression. Rose tea acts as a mild laxative. A paste or cream made from the petals does wonders to improve the condition of the skin, especially on the face.
