Interpersonal

Creating Interpersonal has been one of my most creative dreams to come to life as a truly experimental project. As a student filmmaker, it's always a motivation to push past the limits and see what I can create regarding a lack of experience and funds. This is my first film I've ever truly created- written, produced, directed and edited with the help from my peers and guidance from my professors. This story was truly brought to life by the dedicated actors, who would live on set if they had the choice. As my first real project, the most rewarding part of the process was not only seeing the art I've worked on for months officially turn into a film, something that could represent my creative style that I can share with my community. But being able to connect with others in my community who share the same abstracted eye and truly understand the words beneath my writing. I created this film wanting to confuse my audience, wanting my audience to leave the theater still puzzling the pieces together. I can't lie and say I don't love a cheesy straight forward film just as much as I love a gut-wrenching psychological thriller, but the objective is always to create films like the ones that have stuck with me. My creative motivation for this project and most of my writing stems from watching a movie and then immediately trying to figure out the true meaning of the film. I believe the most valuable experience of creating Interpersonal was learning my boundaries as a female director and finally learning things I need to become comfortable in order to achieve my full creative motives on set. I'm sure every filmmaker/director in this world experiences wanting to be able to go back and fix those things you don't like but didn't want to speak up about. But I think that's the beauty of filmmaking, you can never actually go back (reshoots don't count). So you better perfect it right now. I've learned that instead of wishing you could go back, you take those lessons and just watch how much your next project grows.
