This time is different.
I wanted to convey the idea of running through fire. This can be
broken down many ways which is the intention, it can be about fear, pain, grief or it can be about
exhilaration, adrenaline, burning the pieces that don’t fit anymore. Creation in destruction is the
most beautiful thing. I know what I am talking about is not unique to me. But I’m twenty-two so I
get to be young and dramatic.
SUPERCUT (NOUN): A VIDEO MONTAGE CREATED TO DISPLAY MULTIPLE EVENTS OF SIGNIFICANCE OR OF IMPORTANCE. OFTEN WITHIN A SET TIMELINE. CREATING A WHOLE PIECE, TO COMMUNICATE AN IDEA.
Since I was handed a camera as a child I have been making videos. While I most definitely used to
make videos of me lip-syncing and dancing in my room, and made comedy sketches with my brothers, the
most important form of these videos to me was still documentary. Capturing my life and presenting in
a way that reflects how I perceive it. After making videos for over a decade, I’ve finally got a
clearer idea of how I want to make these now that I have some experience and better tools at my
disposal. So in 2021 my world imploded, as it does for many 19 year olds. But I was for the first
time in my life, in touch with my sense of self. I wanted to turn these videos I’m always making,
that then didn’t have much substance, into a statement. Each year having its own general theme,
laced in details that created a mosaic of my life and how I felt in those moments.
TL;DR
this is how I make sense of my own life, and present it.
