Film provides us with an amazing opportunity to make people feel less alone in the world. We spend our entire lives trapped within ourselves, and it is impossible to know if anyone else experiences the world in the same fashion that we do. Through film, a thought, an experience, an opinion is not only vocalized, but also physicalized. My manifesto is to use my distinct experiences to tap into a story that only I can tell, so that I can help support the numerous people in this world desperately seeking solace and affirmation.
