TITLE: Getting Out
DESCRIPTION: For my narrative assignment, I decided to make a short story mirroring how I had been finishing up final exam assignments at the time. The film depicts me waking up and monotonously typing out a chemistry essay until I hit a mental roadblock and find myself staring at the screen before eventually giving up. My cat, Dennis, stands at the door connecting my room to the back patio and when I get up to let him outside I decide to get a breath of fresh air as well. Enjoying the great outdoors and the gentle sound of afternoon rain alongside my cat ended up revitalizing my energy.
