An animated film based on a personal poem I wrote myself over the course of the past year. It centers around my own feelings of anxiety as time continues to race by in its accelerating pace.
As we begin to enter new phases of our lives, we encounter unevitable challenges that look as if they are impossible to figure out. In times like these I find myself longing for familiar things of the past that are long gone and begin to lose myself in a world of daydreams, using them as a way to restablish the feeling of being in control of things.

In times like these I find myself longing for familiar things of the past that are long gone and begin to lose myself in a world of daydreams, using them as a way to restablish the feeling of being in control of things.
However, as we all know, dwelling in your own dreams can make it even more difficult to move on with your own life.
At a certain point we are forced to confront the difficult feelings that caused our escape in the first place. These are moments in which we become vulnerable, foolish even, and in my opinion, the most human we can be.
