This One’s for You Mom - Pete McCoy

A reflexive personal film that details the loss of a loved one and the emotions associated with the fragility of life. A film dairy that connects and explores my emotions while allowing myself to see the positive side of a horrible accident.

The project I created for my Senior Capstone is a film and personal documentary on the passing of my mother. I decided to detail what its like losing a loved one unexpectedly, the days after, and the gathering of old memories through family videos. The purpose of the video is to relate to others who are going through tough times and show that it does get better even though some days it does not feel like it will. Combining, old vacation videos, captured footage, and photographs, the tribute to my mother and exploitation of my emotions is a project I will forever remember and keep expanding upon well in to the future. Life is so short and fragile, never let the little stuff matter, and live everyday like its your last.
