"Believe it or not" is an ultra-short animated film that gives an insight into the anxious mind of Emily. Emily is traveling in an urban area and gets into a mental spiral over minor problems. Her worries grow, to the point where she hallucinates that the city is collapsing around her. Back at her apartment, she seeks help from a healing crystal that reminds one of a bored Gen-Z who works at an anxiety helpline. "Believe it or not" questions the role of New Age spirituality and superstition in modern life.
