Baggage
TRAILER FOR SHORT FILM
For months after he died I couldn’t bring myself to watch the footage of him as it was too painful. Then one day I was uploading content off my SD card when I just clicked a random clip of him speaking. In the clip he was describing the process he uses when he writes music. He talked about how it’s important to put everything down… and then go back and edit. With each layer you shave away the bad parts, shave away all the mistakes. And then eventually you are left with the good, and the core of what you’re trying to say. This is the way he wrote music and this is they way he liked to look at people.
Immediately I was filled with a sense of relief and I remembered how strong our bond was and how much he knew I loved him. His own words helped me grieve his death and reminded me that he was still there and what mattered was not what I wasn't able to be there for, but what we shared and the love between us. The film is my way of expressing this process I went through.
