I went into this assignment thinking I would make something happy. Something that shows how thrilled I am to have the love of my life back in my life.
Then it changed to me being sad that I would have to leave him when I graduate.
And then it changed to him leaving me again, and very soon at that. January 15th is the latest he can move to NYC.
Filmmaking for me has truly become an avenue for me to work out the pain in my life. It started with the self-portrait of me when he was gone, then I made 2 short films about my anxiety surrounding Hurricane Florence, and now I've made this piece that highlights how truly sad I am that he is leaving me again.
I showed the film to him, and he was very taken aback. He wasn't expecting it, especially since he was there when I shot the film. He told me that it really hit him hard too, and honestly, that's exactly what I wanted him to say.
