I really love film and wanna break into that world one day, but for now I'm just starting with making scrappy stuff with friends. The whole thing sounded so intimidating, like what do you mean I have to give people a script and put a camera in front of their face and ask them to pretend to be someone else??? That takes a lot of vulnerability I think.
Turns out it's so much fun and I need to start doing it more. This first silly video is in fact for a competition my university library is holding to make a promotional short for the libraries. Lowkey don't think we achieved the goal but I hope some student worker gets a laugh.
Yeah so check it out it's only 60 seconds.

Ever since starting college I've made it a point to try on different things, different people...., different styles, and different hobbies! Today I got the IMMENSE privilege of helping out a friend with a short film! It was incredibly fun and made me realize how important it is to have different likes, different things that make our world keep spinning. I'm glad to be able to add film-making (ish) to this little world of mine!

A few months ago, an out-of-state friend asked me to submit a presentation to their PowerPoint party. It should have been simply pointing the camera at myself and a screen, but instead I poured 30 hours into writing a script, multiple recordings, gathering media, and editing to produce a mere five minute video (the presentations had a time-limit thank god i would have kept going). It was fun! And now I have a new found respect for people who make YouTube essays for a living.

Two of my friends and I want to make a film but like...not a film? I'm just having fun with videos and editing. That's all I just wanted to say that bc I'm excited :3. Also we don't watch films very often so any fun light hearted short films, videos, ect? My current inspiration is Jump Tomorrow (2001), directed by Joel Hopkins.

It's this youtube channel making videos about designers with really small apartments and how they make use of their space in really clever ways. Awesome way to fantasize about living in a different city, maybe gain some inspo for your own place, or just admire the cool stuff they come up with. I really like a lot of the Paris ones, that city has crazy small apartments in weird configurations that take some wacky solutions.

Obviously you gotta make an effort if you want something but I’ve been trying really hard recently to not stress about it to the point it just makes me have a bad time. Seeing people repeatedly over a long period of time will make things happen, it just will, but also only if it’s supposed to!
Picture of Josh O’Connor to convey how calm and relaxed about everything I am.

“Bottega Gabriele” in Seattle is the type of place where while eating my meal I met the guy who made its entire family. I think they’re from Calabria and Sardinia. Me and the grandmother got to chatting it up about Virginia Woolf bc we both love modernist literature. The owner gave me some Umberto Eco reading recommendations. This was the type of random interaction to reinvigorate my belief in humanity. Sandwich was fire too.
