2025 / Short Film / 7:38

​​​​​​​

The year I tried to film something every day. A visual diary on Super 8mm, capturing one full year in a series of clips plucked from sad and wonderful and ordinary days. It was the year I turned 30. My first year of marriage. The year my dream job became a nightmare. The year I lost an old man I really loved. A year of existential dread and experiential joy.​​​​​​
