Overview

2020 was a challenging year for many, but I chose to see it as an opportunity for growth. With so much extra time, I immersed myself in filmmaking and editing, learning new skills and taking on projects I never imagined. By the end of the year, I had met people and worked on projects that changed my path. I wanted to create a video that captured not just my experience, but our collective experience of 2020.

Challenges & Approach

I told the story through my lens and the lenses of others. I brought together 70+ creatives from around the world to showcase them holding cameras, symbolizing the strength of the filmmaking community even in tough times. I used the skills I learned to edit and create this video on my own, despite being just 13 years old. No one asked me to do it, but I felt compelled.

The result

The video gained 20k+ views across social media platforms, bringing creatives from around the world together. It opened doors for me and helped me become a recognized young figure in the industry.
