Just Do It short film

Two 30 something friends meet regularly to walk around a park. Ostensibly they are there for the exercise. In reality they’re there for therapy. As they walk and talk, our hero discovers the key to realising your dream can be staring you in the face. While her friend learns that handing out advice can be very dangerous. They might just take it.
