Broken Ankles

Based off a poem of the same name, Broken Ankles is a visual poem about the weight of love holding one girl down. This is a personal piece to me, and I wanted to create this to let out what I was feeling. I enjoyed making this film because it allowed me to reflect on my own emotions by transforming them into something visual. The process was also fun and I learned a lot. To show a feeling of comfort and love I kept rolling when the actors thought I was not and I was able to capture their authentic selves, as they often froze up when they knew I was rolling. I also used shot type and warm lighting to show a loving relationship. With handheld and closeup shots I was able to create an intimate glimpse into these characters' lives.

Film is always swirling in my mind, and creating my own films allows me to process my thoughts. I use art, specifically filmmaking, as an outlet. I also create representation for the LGBT community which allows me to watch the stories I always wish to see.
