You're Afraid to Be Seen Trying | Animated Short Film

You know what you want to do. But what if everyone sees you trying? An animated short film about fear of judgment, gym intimidation, and the first attempt you keep rehearsing instead of making. Your membership card is wearing out. Your shoes are still clean. At the gym door, one glance feels like a verdict — until you see what you couldn't see from outside. THE AUDIENCE is an original Inside Noise Films story about beginning while you are still afraid.
