Rina Gri Honored with the “Excellence Award for Debating and Exploring the Themes of ‘Mental Health’ and ‘Natural Beauty’ in a Feature Film”

Rina Gri, one of the producers of The Secret of Pin-Up Island alongside Alecs Nastoiu and Ovidiu Vasu, and the lead actress in the film, was recently awarded the “Excellence Award for Debating and Exploring the Themes of ‘Mental Health’ and ‘Natural Beauty’ in a Feature Film.” This recognition highlights the impact The Secret of Pin-Up Island has had in sparking meaningful discussions on mental health and its intrinsic connection to beauty.

In accepting this award, Rina expressed her gratitude and shared her thoughts on the subject:

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to speak about such an important topic as mental health through my character. According to the World Health Organization, mental health ‘is an integral part of health.'”

Rina highlighted the prevalence of emotional suffering due to past traumas, an issue that touches everyone yet is often overlooked within healthcare and public systems:

“We are surrounded by people who suffer emotionally from past traumas. This issue concerns everyone—and yet, it’s one of the most underrated and disregarded factors in health care and public systems.”

She also emphasized that mental health is not solely about addressing mental illness but is closely tied to overall well-being, including natural beauty:

“It’s important to understand that mental health isn’t just about mental illness. It’s about overall well-being, about beauty—natural beauty, which comes from within and cannot exist without good mental health.”

In her closing remarks, Rina acknowledged the significance of the “Health, Beauty & Lifestyle Awards” and the role of The Secret of Pin-Up Island in raising awareness about mental health issues:

“I want to thank the ‘Health, Beauty & Lifestyle Awards’ for this recognition. It is one of the steps that bring us closer to the audience. And we hope that addressing this topic through films can help raise awareness and make it more acceptable for those who suffer.”

This acknowledgment brings renewed attention to the powerful message of The Secret of Pin-Up Island, a film that continues to challenge perceptions and spark conversations about mental health.
