POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2 weeks in ireland at @atelierair 🇮🇪 also some mushy words:
i love filmmaking so much, and writing especially fulfills every creative outlet i'd ever need in life. i've also come to understand it gets very lonely. when i'm not in my room writing until my eyes hurt, i'm in my room editing until my eyes hurt. and don't be fooled, i had plenty of eye strain in ireland working on my film!!! but i also had the wonderful privilege to look up from my computer and see the bay one way and the rolling hills in the other. what a quiet gift it was to step away and share a coffee over a conversation about sheep or take a hike to an old cemetery. and don't get me started on the late night tarot card sessions where i cried over my cat or asked repeatedly what the fuck i'm doing with my life! and while i'm still rolling that question through my mind, i'm smiling at my memories and photos. thank you new friends, thank you ireland, thank you jimothy the sheep! ❤️‍🩹 taken in Kerry, Ireland by @wormgoth

i just must say this was a dream ☁️ i didn't know what to expect coming into my first artists residency and whatever odd, confusing, maybe sad feeling was there before, i've been completely restored.

i was endlessly humbled and amazed every day by the fellow artists i shared a space with. truly truly truly. it was a privilege to watch such creative people do what they do best. it was as inspiring as it was stunning.

thank you chateau orquevaux team, creatives, friends near and far, dusty the cat, steve the swan, and the scary but beautiful things that fueled my silly little film 🥚 what a blessing :) by @wormgoth

💌 a vry needed, vry serious love letter:
when i dropped out of saic in 2019, i truly truly truly thought i was done with school in general and specifically art school, with my love for making films struck down. i don't even remember why i decided to try to give it another go (probably because i was tired of laying in bed and crying over what could have been lol) but i came to mica in 2021 and as much as i have complained, i think a part of my heart will dangle over bolton hill forever. i'm so thankful for my professors who pushed me, my new friends who watched every piece i made, and my family who supported me every time i cursed myself for going back to school. i'm so proud of my little thesis group, my favorite filmmakers ever. i will have so much to say about mica forever. thank you to my never ending family, mica buddies, saic buddies, my cat, everyone who had anything nice to say ever. i have love for you in every bit of me. bye for now! by @wormgoth
