Black Anxiety

Abstract

The documentary relates to my life because all the situations I was put in created a reflection on the person I am today. Unconsciously influencing my opinions on the world, I felt unheard and unseen, so I often took my emotions and bottomed them down. I didn't overthink how I felt or what the world was throwing at me, it was more just a process of putting one foot in front of the other, and eventually, I would get there. The film was formed to show what people of color went through and what they felt about the subject matter. The artistic style was to have the beginning playing Meek Millz, which I felt was the new national anthem; the song brought the crowd in and came from a similar place of struggle. It was not what was expected with a conversation on anxiety, and I wanted to juxtapose those two feelings into one opening. https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/782036161
