homegirl
This autobiographical short film is of the filmmaker’s life story so far, told through her childhood tapes and present-day footage as she navigates life in quarantine and thinks back to better days -- when being in the presence of friends and family was not only legal, but the most important part of her life. The film attempts to integrate the past and the present, layering audio from both eras of the filmmaker’s life. Taking moments from many ages throughout her life, the filmmaker presents memories to take her mind off of the bleakness of quarantine. Created in Sound Design course.
