Childhood Movies

This is a photo story about reconnecting with our childhood selves when we watch films. I’ve always had a strong passion for films and filmmaking and the effect watching a meaningful movie can have. When creating this project I consulted my friends and my subject, Nevada, on their favorite films as younger kids. I projected their responses onto Nevada in my photographs. I created a story that featured my character (Nevada) going through stress and problems and feeling lost as a teenager. She then takes a break from all of the issues and things causing her anxiety and watches her favorite movies from when she was younger, ultimately reconnecting with her childhood self and regaining her wonder.
