an award-winning animated documentary. SVA THESIS FILM
This doc explores the stories and memories behind three objects my mom and grandma have held onto for over 20 years. Featuring real interviews recorded in the summer of 2024.
A film about STUFF
Everyone has stuff they’ve held onto for years and years. But why? I wanted audiences to leave thinking about their own stuff and the stories behind their mundane trinkets and knick knacks.
