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.
