Private Project

Paperclip

As the title suggests, a film about connection, and what connects us.

'You said once that you see yourself as a product of other people, a wash of amalgamation with no individual at its centre. In hopes of finding this individual, or rather revealing them to you, I’d encourage you to think of the other people to whom you’ve contributed, those who define themselves, in part, as being your friend. For example, me. I’ll tell your jokes and I’ll wear you in my hair, I’ll write about you and I’ll wear your paperclips, and I’ll always carry you with me, sewed into my coat.'
