Disjointed moments from the filmmakers’ daily lives during the past year. Captured on a 1985 VHS camcorder with color and luminosity distorted by its failing color Newvicon tube. Cut with distorted tape-recorded fragments of nostalgic broadcast television ephemera. Scored by whatever was handy— from an ambient electronic song with a surprising amount of pipe organ (Oneohtrix Point Never - Boring Angel) to midi versions of your favorite SNES soundtrack (Donkey Kong Country – Aquatic Ambience, Opening, and Treetop Rock) to a not-quite-right rendition of a song that will make you want to say “Oh, Angelo, that’s tearing my heart out!” (Xiu Xiu – Falling). A voyeuristic peak at home movies that exist somewhere between soon to be forgotten and forgotten long ago. The occasional dot matrix time stamps in the corner of the footage somehow make it harder to place in time.

A true story of love and consequence. The album film. In my own life I’ve notice a strong theme of learned love, and confusing pain for comfort. Often being stuck in a cycle of my own making. This film is a visual representation about realizing that healing isn’t a fix you find, it’s a shift in perspective. I wanted to honor the moments that shaped me and the fans who walk through similar shadows. The immense amount of courage it takes to jump, to break the pattern, to choose something better, and to understand that the jump is the only way anything ever changes.
