ARTEZ UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS

A animated short film which shows glimpses of my life in my country of birth, before moving to another country at age 9.

A short film about the director's expectations of being gay. Why do so many people focus on the sex between two men? When you come out of the closet, do you have to have a lot of sex with a lot of men or is there still a possibility for a cozy life?

Do you ever wonder why you are the way you are? One day I decided to ask myself this question and I have been struggling to put the answer together ever since. “Enough of Myself” is my visualization of this process. When I finally had the headspace to consider my own emotions, it turned out to be a lot harder than I had thought. When you start to examine your own thoughts and patterns, the digging doesn’t stop. You keep digging deeper and finding new connections that you might have preferred stay hidden. But to ignore these things is to give in to them. Growth requires a certain level of vulnerability, not just towards others but towards yourself as well. To grow beyond those negative patterns, you need to look them in the eye first. In my film I tried to capture this emotional process in an array of animations. I hope that I haven’t just captured my own emotional process, but some deeper universal emotions as well.

We continue to follow a cowboy on his path into the empty nothingness of the desert, after he rides out of the town he just saved.
