Chronicle of a move to move forward is a film that I initially created  to test a manner of filmmaking that could be both formally progressive and logistically reproducible for future projects. Working in collaboration with my producer, Andrés Fernandez, I designed certain restrictions for the project. These included a limited crew of five individuals, a cast made up of these five crew members, a script of still 35mm photos and collected sounds rather than written action and dialogue and a budget of under $500. The final piece is a product of these restrictions.

Though Chronicle was proposed as an experiment, its formal approach was always intended to create a unique experience for a human audience. I aim for this work, and future works, to submit the viewer to an emotional experience of space rather, one in which tone and mood shifts act as the structural pillars within the film. Through the designed nature of these changing spaces, I am interested in exploring societal attitudes we maintain towards ideas of private versus public, belonging versus intruding and the liminal moments of shift as spaces change function.
