About the series

Things You Can't Forget was conceived as a series of films that would give me an outlet to reflect on and deal with moments from my past, while allowing me to explore the succinctness of creating visually-focused short films. The goal is to make a visual dictionary of dramatized moments from my life in an effort to extract meaning and move forward.

As you can tell, things are going a lot slower with this project than originally intended. "Life got in the way", is the standard excuse. I haven't given up yet, though. I have a few more ideas and plan to continue to produce these films.
