This short film tells the story of a girl struggling with life, but is reminded of the person she used to be.
I'm excited to finally share something cinematic, created with my new camera. A big thank you to @_buildspace for giving me the push I needed to finish this project instead of putting it aside like my vlogs … lol. This summer has been a huge learning experience in filmmaking, and I can’t wait to create more.
Since this is my first film, I wanted to focus on essential aspects of filmmaking like lighting, camera movement, composition, sound design, and color grading, so I decided to omit dialogue entirely. I chose the nostalgic song “So It Begins (Interlude)” to convey the storyline through its lyrics.
This song takes me back to my freshman year of college when I was struggling to adjust, which is reflected in the girl’s journey at the beginning of the film. During that time, Johnny Orlando's album was a constant companion as I worked to find myself again, and I wanted to capture that transition in the film.
Special thanks to:
• E.L. and E.C. for helping me with my practice shots.
• M.L. for lending me your gaffing gear.
• Gisele Ura for starring in the video and helping me revise the storyboard.
