They say life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all, so I chose adventure.
My love of American cinema as a child made me desire to leave my small community and meet other people who shared my interests. I didn’t have many friends so I’d always rush home after school to watch my favorite show ad just escape into a different realm, like a comfort zone. I didn’t enjoy socializing much because of my shyness however I also felt something was missing, the need to adventure myself and discover what was out there. One day during a math class this girl sat next to me and we started bonding over a bunch of interests we had in common. Her name was Elly, she was extremely confident unlike me and helped me get out of my comfort zone. We seemed different at first glance but we both wanted something new that made us more excited about life, we wanted adventure. Wanting to be part of this greater world made me adventure myself into a variety of cultures and allowed me to become the open-minded person I am today. Although I’ve grown a lot from previous experiences, my first real memorable trip was when I was 15 years old with Elly. To be perfectly honest, my adolescent era—which you can call the teenage phase—was the most memorable adventure of my life. It was just somewhat worse than the typical ones but extremely worth it. For a very long time Elly and I wanted to travel, but because we were still relatively young, our parents had not given us permission. As a young adolescent, I can tell you that this increased my desire to go even more. My friend had received an invitation to go to Marrakech from some other friends one day, and we enthusiastically accepted it since we were eager to discover something different. We knew both of our parents wouldn’t allow us to leave for the weekend so we decided to not say anything and led them to believe we had a sleepover at another’s friend’s house. Before I start coming across as a little crazy, let me say that my love of travel was sparked by the complete freedom I had on my first home departure with my closest friend. Upon seeing Morocco’s great cultural diversity, I developed a fondness for the civilizations I had never encountered. For the first time in my life I had escaped my comfort zones and it opened my eyes to how big the world really was. I learned the importance of having a sense of independence when I saw the vast change in lifestyles and cultures at 15, and I would now put that feeling above anything else. Even now, the excitement I had on my first solo trip still comes over me everytime I land in a new country, and for that, I am thankful. Up to this day my parents still aren’t aware of my trip and hopefully it will stay that way, but I would obviously never recommend doing this for a number of reasons. My interest in filming suddenly expanded as a result of this trip, and I made the decision to exclusively record the moments that made me feel free and at ease. I hope you can comprehend the moments I had this feeling by watching the short-film I’ve made. One day, I hope to be able to portray emotions through film-making and connect with people all across the globe through the field I am currently practicing.
