Final Project- letters

I graduate in just a few days. This is my senior project:




letters

letters is an experimental documentary/travel log about my experiences during a semester abroad. It highlights language, gender and culture collisions I experienced over the five months I was there, as well as exploring ideas related to the exotic dream of a foreign land, vs. the reality of life in the land we fictionalize from home.

It was shot on a Sony HC1000, and edited originally in-country on a g4 laptop running Final Cut Pro 3.0. The sound was recorded using a mini-disc player and a stereo lavalier microphone. The picture to the right was my mobile studio.
