Flow
This project delves into the concept of "Flow" as experienced by three Boulder-based student creatives who balance the demands of academia, personal relationships, and work while engaging deeply with their artistic endeavors. It offers an introspective look at how these students navigate the complexities of artistry, maturity, and the uncertainties of impending graduation. Additionally, the documentary contrasts creative mindsets across two distinct industries—sports and music—revealing unique perspectives on creativity. Employing a "direct cinema" style, the film also reflects on the filmmaker’s journey as she confronts the conclusion of her time at CU Boulder. This narrative sets a contemplative tone, mingling feelings of reflection, sorrow, and excitement as it explores the challenges of facing an uncertain future.
