MEMORIES
Around ten years ago I suffered from paranoia and OCD. During that time, I filmed hours everyday on small digital cameras when I controlled my living. I then lived at my parents and couldn’t get out of the house alone.
Years later, I found these cameras when I cleaned my room I had as a girl. The saved film clips are the basis in my short movie. A story of odd thoughts, fears and memories is woven together in my film as I look back at my illness.
