Introducing ‘I ____ YOU’, dedicated to my lover and best friend, thank you for showing me healthy love is attainable. I wrote this short film early Summer last year. We had been dating for 5 months and with each moment I was falling deeper and deeper in love with him. I took myself to the park and sat down to write, and for the first time I was writing from a healthy heart, not a broken one. I wanted to be able to encapsulate everything I was feeling, the ambivalence of wanting to expose my heart, but fearing being rejected. This was the first time I would say “I love you” to someone, and it not come from a place of fear or a toxic one. This film is a celebration of vulnerability, and letting pure, secure love in without the constant impulse to self sabotage. Every number reflected in this story is true to my journey, 7 heart breaks, 22 bottles of wine (at the time it was, now we’ve lost count lmao) and so on. After ‘Fool Me Twice’ I promised myself I wouldn’t use pain and suffering to fuel my art, only love. Here is the outcome. I hope you take it in, watch it two, three times, full screen, sound up. And know, It was only when I promised I would stop sacrificing my entire being for another, did he finally show up. I love you S. Full film here or via link in bio. Thank you to the exceptional cast and crew for helping me bring my vision to life.
