Producción de cortometraje sobre el síndrome de agotamiento laboral en jóvenes

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. Currently in Ecuador, many young people entering the workforce face exhausting routines along with high expectations of productivity, especially in a society that tends to normalize excessive work. This is where burnout, also known as burnout syndrome, arises. The objective of this project is to produce a short fiction film that addresses this topic of mental health to foster reflection and raise awareness about the importance of rest as part of emotional well-being. For this project, we used high-end audiovisual production equipment thanks to our collaboration with a long-standing production company in Quito. The result was a six-minute audiovisual work of high academic quality that coherently depicted how the burnout phenomenon affects young adults in the country. Keywords: Burnout, audiovisual, phenomenon, work.
