Artist Statement
As a creative artist, I want to try different things even if one of the methods I use require borrowing existing material.In relation to my film, I wanted to experiment in terms with issues like being afraid of the dark. Likewise to what was first mentioned, the stories I come up with from time to time may be already seen in media like from books, movies, games, and more. However, I also want to create something different with it than what has previously been done. It is important to me because original story writing is very difficult. But, I do noticed that eventually you can branch off as you edit further. It gets much clearer and helps you figure out what you actually want. My style per say is a range from joyful to dark.
