A Short Film
Role: Writer, Photographer, Editor | Timeline: 1 Week | Tools/Skills: Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom
Project Description: This experimental film uses a series of photographs to tell a compelling story about individual anxiety and self-imposed stress. Each image is captured from the subject’s first-person perspective, allowing the audience to experience the emotional journey intimately. By combining these visuals, the film immerses viewers in the subject’s internal struggle, offering a unique and personal exploration of mental tension.
Plot/Concept: The feeling of being watched and judged while navigating life is one of the most uncomfortable states to experience. Yet, amidst the stress and anxiety, there is also a place of comfort to be found. This film explores a simple but personal concept: my feelings during the early years of college as I navigated new experiences and searched for my true purpose and identity.
