Love

Trying was such a beautiful short film. It portrayed ADHD so accurately, and you can tell the writer took the time to truly understand the reality of people with ADHD.

It's a must watch for everyone and hoping for a sequel!

Excellent short film.

The writing was fabulous, All women team with one man involved. The film was very creative and Samantha (playing Meg) did an outstanding job as did all the other actors. Really enjoyed the movie.

Good movie

I really liked the movie a lot. Meg is very real and I relate to her a lot. I also liked that it was funny in parts but also had drama moments. I have anxiety and think it would be good to have a movie about anxiety too.

A heartfelt, insightful, authentic film

A strong showcase for creator/star Samantha Labrecque. TRYING is an authentic, fun and at times sober look at the struggles of living with ADHD. An expanded look at the story of Meg is a must have!

Trying portrays a real woman dealing with life circumstances while using joy and love as tools to step up for herself and her dreams. The scene with Mrs. Hazel is my favorite.

Trivia
In the opening shot of the film, Executive Producer Allen Schatz's murder mystery novel "Game 7: Dead Ball" can be seen hidden in the stack of Meg's self help books.
