COLD

I’ve had the idea for a film about a woman freezing alone in her home for a while. Despite her efforts, she is unable to warm up. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to film something in the dark, and I had some difficulties but it made me be more intentional with how I used lighting. I decided to use this idea for my college applications, so I created a 3 minute video to fit the guidelines. Because of the time limit, I was forced to think creatively about how to build suspense quickly. The ending turned out very abrupt because of time, but it fits with the quick pace. I shot this film in a couple hours after school, and edited it over a few weekends.

Creativity is self-expression, imagination, and vulnerability. My art is inspired by my experiences, and there’s a vulnerability involved in sharing parts of yourself in your art. Film specifically is my artistic outlet because it combines writing and photography, the other two art forms I find the most compelling.
