Color of the Sky
NARRATIVE FICTION SHORT FILM
With this film I set out to tell a story about what it really means to live in the moment. This short film was my passion project towards the end of the main COVID-19 quarantine. I gathered talent from my hometown of Seattle, and together with a group of mostly strangers we created this short.
The sunset is a large part of this story, and in my own life I have learned that watching the sunset is a stunning way to really appreciate living in the moment. My inspiration behind the film also came from my own experiences being color blind, and realizing that although I see the world in a different way, it's not any less beautiful. This is a lesson that Sky, the protagonist seeks to learn in the film and in the end, enjoying the moment can be a lot simpler than it seems.
