As an experiential storyteller, I chose to tell a story about the journey of staying true to yourself as a struggling artist in NYC. I love diving deep into human contradiction--something we often avoid, but can all relate to. Doppelpond is a body-swap dramedy that explores themes of identity, cultural expectations, and artistic self-discovery with a humorous and heartfelt approach. Themes include the reality of typecasting in film, the personal cost of pursuing a dream vs. the freedom of choosing your own path, and the idea that sometimes, we need a fresh perspective to rediscover what truly matters to us.
