Filmmaker Statement

"Memoir of a Dying Star" is a deeply personal experimental film I made to come to terms with a heartbreak that really changed me. It started as a short poem I wrote to express my feelings, but I quickly realized that words alone weren't enough. This led me to turn that poem into a screenplay and then into a film. In the movie, I revisit my past, reliving the memories and my admiration for a woman who still means a lot to me. Through the film's character, I express the things I wish I had said to her in real life. Though this story began as a personal journey, it has a message that I think many can relate to. It's about meeting someone at the wrong time and how that's not always a bad thing. Yes, it's painful, but in that brief time together, you learn so much about love, life, and connecting with someone even when things are uncertain. The film is about the art of letting go, which doesn't necessarily mean you forget the person entirely. They leave a mark on you, a piece of themselves that stays with you forever.
