About this Video
I chose this story because it represents who I am and where I was at in my lifetime both as an artist and as a young adult. Knotted is a film that tackles and satirizes classism and the idea of the starving artist. I wrote it as a means of dealing with how lost and insecure I felt in my journey and felt it was the right one to tell when deciding my thesis.
