I Wrote This For You: On Love (2017)

A film about love found and love lost.


This was the final project for a class I took in my first semester abroad at Barnard College. Our instructions was that it had to have a beginning, middle, and end, it couldn’t be a music video, and it couldn’t exceed 8 minutes. That's all the prompt we got.

I had just started reading Iain S. Thomas’ “I Wrote This For You: Just The Words”, and it conjured some vivid images in my mind (of which exactly one made it into the film). So I selected passages to put together and weave a storyline, recontextualising some, and creating dialogues out of others.

This is the first time I've made something nonlinear, the first time I've moved into more emotional territory, and the first time I've felt like a real filmmaker (not just with cinematography and editing, but also in the specific ways I was able to evoke the performances).

So once again, thank you to Gabbie and Willa for being perfect humans who braved the cold, lay in leaves, almost touched bird poop, fell onto a pointy tree guard, and put up with me constantly talking out loud to myself. And thank you to all the people who listened when I wouldn't shut up about the film, from the beginning when I was panicking about complexity and structure to the end when I was panicking about music and emotional tonality.
