The Dive

Michael S.

• Artist Statement

  A girl is at diving practice and having a great time when all of a sudden her coach reveals some unnerving news: she has to do a new dive. She builds up courage through the support of her teammates and a brief training montage. The film culminates with a huge bellyflop.

• Creative Statement

  Throughout my life, I have used filmmaking as a medium to express myself. I mostly have used comedy to express my feelings. Whether it is making a silly film about my brother to show my love for him or a witty film about diving to highlight its fun and scary sides, I always put my all into my films.
