The inspiration behind my short film was the firing of synapses in the brain, more specifically my depressed and anxious brain. The quick changes between shots of my favorite outdoor environments and my artwork through the years is supposed to represent the fast pace of my thoughts, tying back to my anxiety. The shots act as my racing thoughts. The beginning shot of me entering the depths of my basement is supposed to symbolize how my brain unwinds at the end of the day and how I immerse myself in thought as to reflect and grow from my actions from the day. My basement is my little sanctuary and I wanted to reveal how important of a role it plays on me allowing myself to be creatively expressive. The scenes following the "entrance" into my twisted mind are all things which bring me joy and also cause me pain, due to my perfectionist attitude.
