I am a binge-crazed baby of the 21st century. Through that I seem to be reinforcing the little voice in my head that is screaming that I am simply infatuated with my own being. This coveted obsession with the discovery of who I am, why I am and what I'm to become started with my interest in what others are thinking and experiencing. Since I was a child I identified a small person in my head that I believed would not be able to be reached by others in the real world. And so my exhaustingly curious little person tirelessly thought about the other little people in other people's heads. I figured all problems of miscommunication and conflict could be resolved if individuals could have the small people communicate. I thought those small people were the very essence of humanity. Honest, unique and quite simple in their curiosity in everything, and therefore easily reasoned with.
Today, I still talk to my small person to learn about myself and teach others about them. Oddly enough however, this has helped me recognize conflicts and issues I never even realized were there to begin with. But I've also learned my small person responds to light hearted fun as well as more complicated humor made up of references and plays on words. This is why most of my interest in my own creative content (often having to do with communication of a specific idea in social justice issues) is heavily weighted on the written and often spoken word. Because in the end, my obsessed self, just wants to make my little person heard.
I have a keen interest in the issues of my generation; sexism, racism, ableism, LGBTQIA+ rights to name a few. I'd like to spread information about these issues to people of different backgrounds. Make it so that everything I've struggled to understand is easier to grasp for those with less tools to do so. So the other binge-crazed babies of this century can binge something of value. I'd like to do this through the medium of the moving image because it gives us an easier in depth look through different perspectives. Moreover, it can be a light-hearted platform with a far reaching message. The idea is if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much do you think a video is worth? I think it's worth a voice.
