And just like that… it’s over. Cue dramatic music. After weeks (months???) of brainstorming, filming, editing, and questioning my life choices, my film opening is finally done. It’s crazy to think about how much effort went into these two little minutes of storytelling. I mean, I basically lived in Premiere Pro, got even closer to my phone (didn’t think that one could ever happen) and might have cried over editing and music choices a few times (let’s not talk about it). It’s funny how excited I was for this project going around asking everybody what they wanted to do and now i’m asking to see final results, time really does fly by.
Looking back, I feel like I really grew throughout this project. I learned how to turn an idea into something visual, how to make people feel something without saying a word, and most importantly, how to survive the stress of filmmaking. The creative process was full of highs and lows, but somehow, the chaos came together into something I’m actually really proud of.
Would I do this again? Absolutely. But better. Now that I know what works (and what definitely doesn’t), I’d love to take on another film project with full creative control. This one was a learning experience, but next time? It’s personal. So, while I’m beyond relieved that this chapter is closing, I know I’ll be back for more. Because, let’s be real, the grind never really stops. Especially when it comes to film making! I’m really going to miss you guys we became so close over these 9 weeks but on to the next!
