I want to make a film that inspires somebody to appreciate life more.

Four years ago, I started a video vlog series called "The Memory Project," where I would record everything from my small daily tasks to family vacations. I would then compile days' worth of videos into short 30-second recaps that I could look back on as I grew older. These video vlogs simultaneously introduced me to film and taught me to appreciate life.

Two years after ending The Memory Project to pursue filmmaking, I still think about and look back on The Memory Project constantly. The Memory Project completely changed the path my life was heading towards and changed how I view everyday life. Recreating this effect is my goal for my film career. My dream is to inspire somebody to appreciate their life more—the same way The Memory Project inspired me.

"Where'd All The Time Go?" is a direct reflection of that goal. It follows four friends trying to complete their childhood bucket list before going off to college. As they cross off each item on the list, they grapple with the fleeting nature of youth, the fear of growing up, and the bonds that hold them together. But as they run away together, jump from cliffs, and evade the cops, the end of summer nears closer. This forces each of them to confront what they truly want out of life.

Being able to produce this film would allow me to fulfill my dream of telling a story that hopefully impacts somebody's life, while also kickstarting my career as a filmmaker. I greatly appreciate everybody who donates as well as everybody who supports me in a non-financial way. Thank you.
