Home Is A Feeling

Artist Statement
My parents were a major source of inspiration for me growing up. My mom introduced me to the world of magical girl power animated shows, and the joys of feeling empowerment in your talents. My Dad taught me to care and love the community I was raised in. As a result, I developed a love for creating colourful, animated stories inspired by my experiences growing up in one of the most vibrant diasporas of the world. I’m inspired by these lessons from my family and community, giving me the guiding belief in myself no matter where I am, and that things will work out in the end, even if it’s not the way you imagined. My film is about knowing yourself despite the world not knowing you very well, a patterned lived experience of mine, and creating a space where you can be yourself, remembering who you are.
Logline
