I Knew You Could Never Forgive Me :
A man in ruin reflects on his tenuous past, facing the consequences for the demons of his youth that he couldn't escape, and the loss of the woman he couldn't protect from himself.
Lyrics: "I Was Wrong"
"I was born at the hands of the potter
And I was torn from the start
I was torn between my god and my Father
I was born at the dawn of our folly
And I was young, and stubborn to the bone
As I took from the tree that was rotting
I took my chance and bit down deep
The weight of the world was crippling
Now I'll hide my shame with woven leaves
I was wrong
And I'm so, so sorry
I knew you'd never forgive me
But I was wrong
And I'm so, so sorry"

This film was created by a small team of six young minds with a shared vision. It was my view that for my first short film, I needed to think outside the box. Short films can be many things, but are so often limited by the amount of time they have to tell their story. When the idea first came to mind, I was listening to the song "I Was Wrong" by The Oh Hellos, featured in the film. I could picture bits and pieces of the story. They were far apart, but as I played the song, I could see more and more. Like synesthesia. It was an incredible rush. That day I wrote down the first draft. I could see the potential, but as a student, I thought the concept was way beyond what my resources allowed. How can a student reinvent the wheel? How can I make my "movie in nine minutes"? As time went on, I began to rethink my skepticism. I realized I could do anything I put my mind to. My co-writer Ethan and I worked together for months restructuring the film, making sure no frames were wasted. We wanted each and every viewing to reveal new bits of information. This film is unbelievably dense. After finishing the writing process, we knew we had no choice but to see it through. We put together a small team, and got to work. It took nearly a full year of constant challenges, lows, highs, and persistence. We have finished what we started, and we are so pleased you can finally see our passion project.
