CCAC / Do You Have 5 Min? Film
Recognized by the AIGA Cause/Effect Award.
How do we define care? How do you know if you care about someone — or about something? When you cry over an Instagram post about someone you have never met and who would never know you existed. Does that mean you cared about them? Do they care about you?
I grew up in an emotionally reserved culture, a big city with satellite-family presence, and people often didn’t say what they meant. I wasn’t in touch with my own feelings; I was often confused by others.
“Do You Have 5 Min?” is a film that looks into what real care looks like and what actions truly show it. Care isn’t always shown by the time spent together, the words spoken, or a diamond on a finger. Care is whether you live in someone’s thoughts and their heart.
Real care begins in the heart: someone holds you in their inner life. From that place, actions follow naturally and authentically — a late-night message, a difficult conversation, presence when it matters, laboring for another’s wellbeing without keeping score. Those actions are valid because they arise from genuine concern, not obligation, performative intent, or social expectation.
