The short film ‘Heirlooms,’ produced by Suicide&Co in collaboration with VML, explores suicide bereavement through emotional storytelling. Promoted by West Ham United, the film highlights the hidden struggles of grief and aims to break stigma and encourage support systems for those affected.
Meanwhile, The HOPE Foundation is launching ‘We LOVE LA,’ a fundraising campaign to support families displaced by wildfires. Events, including a Valentine’s Day benefit, aim to raise $1 million for educational stability in affected communities, ensuring students can continue their academic progress despite crisis-driven disruptions.
These initiatives reflect a shift towards cinematic mental health advocacy and community-centered philanthropy, using local engagement and digital outreach to address pressing social challenges.
