    This public service announcement addresses the issue of excessive social media and phone usage. It follows a college student who is shown mindlessly scrolling on their phone each day, with their routine repeating and getting faster over time. Their friend notices they seem distracted and encourages them to go for a walk in the park instead. The PSA emphasizes that nature exposure can reduce depression and anxiety, and that while phones are not a true escape, healthier escapes can be found. It aims to promote mental health and time spent outdoors.

    BLACK SCREEN

    Snapchat notification sound awakens our character

    INT. COLLEGE STUDENT'S BEDROOM- MIDDAY

    CLOSE UP on our STUDENT in their very messy bed.

    Student throws their blanket off the bed to find iPhone next
    to them plugged in near their face.

    For a brief moment we see the Student's disheveled and dirty


    room before we are interrupted quickly panning to their phone
    on the nightstand near their bed, a face covering mask
    clearly in view.

    The only notifications are from various social medias.


    Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram.

    The student opens TikTok and begins to mindlessly scroll


    through their feed in bed.

    CUT TO - INT. COLLEGE HOUSE LIVING ROOM

    STUDENT sitting on couch wearing baggy and unwashed clothes


    with headphones in their ears, still mindlessly scrolling on
    their phone.

    CLOSE UP on the clock on the iPhone seemingly speeding


    through time as the scrolling on the screen continues

    CUT TO - INT. College STUDENT'S BEDROOM- NIGHT

    We see STUDENT PLUG in their phone and drop into bed

    INT. COLLEGE STUDENTS BEDROOM- MIDDAY

    The day is a repeat of the one before. The only difference is


    STUDENT is wearing different dirty clothing and slightly
    faster. Ending the same way. an Ambient noise begins to
    build.

    After this the day repeats again. And again. getting faster
    every time, Ambient Noise getting louder every time.

    Seeing a sad daily routine for this student. Building up


    pressure.
    2.

    CUT TO - INT. COLLEGE HOUSE LIVING ROOM

    After about five or six days like this, the routine is


    interrupted abruptly by another student, seemingly a friend
    or housemate. Lets call him DERRICK

    DERRICK (O.S)
    Hey man, you alright?

    STUDENT
    Uh, I'm fine. Why? What's up?

    DERRICK
    You just seem distracted lately, I
    don't know I'm a little worried about
    you... You sure you're alright?

    STUDENT
    I don't know. I just want to distract
    myself from everything.

    DERRICK
    Come on man lets get some fresh air. I
    think you need it.

    CUT TO- EXT. PARK TRAIL

    We see DERRICK and STUDENT walking through the park trail.

    TEXT ON SCREEN READS "30 Minutes of nature exposure per week


    reduces depression and anxiety".

    TEXT FADES AND IS REPLACED WITH THE TEXT "Your phone is not
    an escape." TEXT FADES IN BELOW THAT "But you can find one"

    TEXT FADES AND IT REPLACES WITH THE NATIONAL PARKS LOGO AND
    THE TEXT "Brought to you by the Mental Health Foundation and
    the National Parks Foundation."

    FADE TO BLACK

    END OF PSA.
