[sLUms]. | A Documentary

Editing this piece was a challenge because this was the first time I was working with multiple subjects in one film. However, through the process of trying to create a unified voice, it became clear to me that Slums doesn't have a singular "story" behind it. Slums is a community of artists that came together because each one of them is trying to find their own way through life. Of course there is some overlap and bonds formed through relating to each others struggles, but in the end, each individual is trying to find a unique answer within themselves, while supporting the journey of those around them as well.

This intricate mixing of each individuals perspective on life is wound together in the music they make. Each voice is unique. Each sound is new. And the music continues to evolve, reflecting steady progress as they find their way through this world.

Slums is a community for those who are lost to simply be lost together - pulling each other out of the insanity of being lost alone.
