Most of the lyrics were written beforehand, with the last stanza being written during One Week. This song is a message to my past self, as well as something simple to get back into songwriting.

CalArts 48 Hour Film || December 4, 2021 - December 6, 2021

Join the Club
A song written about my feelings towards COVID-19 and the lockdown in March 2020.
Junior Capstone Project || March 29, 2020 - May 22, 2020
I found it ironic how we're all going through the same things together, despite being physically apart. I asked my friends and family to film themselves making cereal, the most mundane activity I could think of; and as I compiled and animated these clips together, it would serve as something unifying.
