Dream

I made this film to capture a sense of dreaminess and immerse the viewer in the nighttime scene. As a filmmaker I intended to primarily focus on lighting, framing, camera movement, and color to create the tone. I was inspired by Jaroslav Kučera’s work on Daisies, specifically the use of the exposure and movement. I was also inspired by Wim Wender’s cinematography and how his visuals are very dreamy and explore abstract topics like memory. I had the idea of filming a simple sequence where a girl wakes up in a park and follows music that she hears across the park at night to a boy. Then she would wake up. The idea is that she is fascinated with adventure, but she can only have it in her dreams, or in the movies.

To me, creativity is like an ocean inside me. When I am rising above depression and have sufficient sleep, my curiosity increases, allowing me to access droplets from that ocean. Creativity is a state of enlightenment that gives me ideas to make art and live a vibrant, resourceful life.
