About this submission

June and Daniel spend their last day together in sorrow as June prepares to leave town for a program far away. In an attempt to relive their best moments, they cannot help but notice their time together is coming to an unavoidable end.

"Crossroads" is a personal retrospective on what it feels like to leave someone and someplace close to you. I wanted to dedicate this film to my time spent in Santa Cruz, California, and challenge myself to shoot in 16mm for the first time.
