Finding Yourself

Finding Yourself is an animated documentary that challenges the traditional ways of filmmaking through interdisciplinary practices. This documentary showcases the perspective of four individuals that talk about nature’s influences on themselves, which is used to help spark some positivity and appreciation for the solitude that nature offers. Which serves the purpose of reconnecting them with the outside world, especially during unfortunate times like COVID, developing the awareness for the mental health benefits of hiking along with the physical health. Animation is used to create a surrealistic view of the landscape that establishes a contrast between the dialogue and the visuals, which helps agitate the viewer into seeking the natural world.
