ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
This class made me realize how hard producing for individual projects truly is, but it’s what I ultimately want to do professionally, and I’m ready to put in the work. That said, through the various complications in getting this filmed, editing was by far my favorite part, and I feel more confident in Adobe Premiere than ever. The number of tools available can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand what you’re doing and how to utilize them, you can create some amazing effects. That said, my short film overall aims to unveil a very sensitive subject that is usually hard to confront. I feel it is important to raise awareness about real situations that happen and to try to handle them as appropriately as possible, regarding what to and what not to show. Since my first submission last year, I think the growth of my skills is very apparent, and I’m super proud of how this turned out. From concept to final product, enjoy Jinx!
WARNING: Film contains sexual assault and alcohol abuse. Viewer discretion is advised.
