It's finally done. I created this short video for Pluto's birthday and mine, and it's about looking back at the good days that were taken for granted and appreciating the light amidst the dark.
The idea for this film popped up in my head way back in July right after Pluto recovered from a dangerous disease known as distemper, and this was originally supposed to just be about Pluto because I really thought we were going to lose him. But against the odds, he got well completely and it me realize just how close we were to having one less star in our home. So over the next few months, the film grew into an appreciation for absolutely everyone and everything in my life who's been a guiding light for me, more so in a year that's been rather dark and heavy on everyone.
So sincerely, I want to thank you all for making me who I am, and for my family and friends who have always supported me and continue to support the stuff I wanna do and the future I want to achieve. Making this is the least I can do.
If you're reading this and made it this far, I invite you to tell the people who are important to you that you appreciate them however you want, and go check up on them. This world needs more of it.
It's made up of clips I shot from the past half-year mixed with a lot of my old videos since I haven't been out at all HAHA hopefully 2021 treats us better because I'm really itching to travel and film again.
