This film began with the light-hearted idea of carrying a camera around and capturing anything interesting that might happen to me throughout March. However, within the first day, I discovered that my definition of what was interesting was difficult to pin down. I found myself capturing far more footage of my daily life than anticipated, and I soon shifted my focus to capturing everything.

By structuring this film with four constant sections of footage playing at once, I wanted to highlight how much happens in a single day, every day. This is something that I took for granted, and I would bet almost everyone else often does as well. The layered visuals and sound can sometimes become overwhelming, much like life itself. This format encourages the viewer to watch carefully, and also dwell on certain moments, or even rewatch the fill entirely. This is the same way I would encourage them to think about their own life.

I found creating this film incredibly rewarding. It became an experience in itself knowing that anything I did would become part of this film. As those around me became familiar with what I was doing, they wanted to participate, hold the camera, know more about the process, and share in the excitement. By the end of the month, it felt foreign to put the camera down.

Perhaps most meaningful to me is how this film highlights the people who are most important in my life. Watching through the footage made me realize how constantly present they are, and I am deeply grateful to have them there. They were also vital in making the creation of this possible! Fun fact, this film was edited entirely in one night, so that it could be released on the first of the new month. I am not sure the all-nighter was necessary, but I would do it again. And get ready - March of 2025 is coming soon!
