Trailer for the film, Where's the Will
directed by Paul Laudicano
CLAUSTROPHOBIC LOVE
A time-lapsed look at my life in lock down, having recently moved in with my girlfriend. It started off that I was just time-lapsing our everyday life exactly as it was right now. But when watching the footage back I couldn't help but feel so lucky to be living with my best friend and the person I love most in the world. So I wrote a poem about exactly how this has made us both feel, especially these past few months, and fit it with the clips I'd shot, to tell our story. I also kept the whole reason for these time lapses a secret from Katie and have just given her this video as a kind-of love letter and a memory from this time in our lives. It's more for us than anyone else, but I hope you enjoy it too and maybe you'll see a little bit of your own life reflected in it.
