Experiencing Interruptions?

the shutter sound scared me

Blending intimate home videos, curated archival footage, and segments shot today, the film explores an evolving connection with the camera: from childhood awe to self-discovery behind the lens, and eventually into adulthood, where the camera becomes a vessel for unresolved memories.

Through a poetic narrative, the shutter sound scared me dives into how the camera is more than just an object—it’s a mirror, a witness, and sometimes, an intruder. By weaving together fragmented vignettes, the film examines how we frame ourselves and others in pursuit of meaning, memory, and identity.
