The New Life

2025•48m•Adventure•Documentary•Drama

Inspired by the bad things that happen

Travelling the French Alps at 17 while coming to terms with losing my dad. Exploring ideas of faith through difficult situations, and how bad times can bring out the good in our lives, documenting the journey after losing a parent to cancer and the importance of art and creativity in our lives. Using "The New Life" as a new way of defining grief, serving as the name given to the life we are forced to live after losing a loved one, and a christian name given to Heaven. It’s the similarity in all of our lives and the life that we go out of our way to live, in search of experiences, after it feels like all hope is lost. Why do we fall? It does, in fact, get better.
