Confession

This film was a great personal project for me. I felt a connection with the protagonist, Anita, who not only is expected to succeed but expects herself to do so. It is an overwhelming feeling and pressure that one puts upon oneself. This is common among us all, as we there are roles and goals that all of us assign ourselves to, and on our failure fall into nervousness, anxiety, and disappointment. Confessing a failure to a loved one brings not only fear of their reaction, but a realisation that one needs to completely accept the failure themselves. Thus it was a film that came from my heart.
This feeling is echoed by all people, and with the feedback I have received, that is what I feel is the most successful part of this project. That the audience can see, relate, and realise that they can overcome the pressures in their own lives on watching this film gives this project a positive mark.
This project was a task of resilience; continuous reworking of aesthetic, and a necessity to achieve the stylisation in animation and overall look that is required for a topic like this. The inspiration of an Indian setting and changing moods were often revisited, and adjusted for the final look, resulting in the completed emotional balance of the film in the culture and issue it depicts. I am most glad about having worked on, and completed a film on a topic that I am personally attached to, and that people can relate to no despite coming from different cultures themselves.
It could not have been completed without the amazing sound cast and voice actor, and support from friends, family, peers at SCAD, and the guidance of professors. I hope to continue creating films that can echo the emotions of an audience, and bring a smile on their faces at the end.
