another year of 35mm film - failures & favorites

Before moving forward into 2024, I wanted to look back one more time and review what it was like shooting film photography over the past year. In 2023, I felt the lowest that I ever have creatively and lost my love for visual storytelling on both digital and analog. This video is all about my film failures, favorites, insights, and moments of inspiration that came along the way on my journey back to 35mm film. I'm aiming to make more of an effort to post long-form content this year, so subscribe for more nostalgia, film photography, video editing tutorials, and lifestyle content! #analog #35mmfilm #filmphotography

So happy you’re back ! I’m actually a silent fan and this is my first comment ever on youtube haha I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you for a few years now and that I really love your aesthetics ❤

[@AudrieStorme]

Ahhh that makes me so happy to hear and thank you for leaving a comment! It's always nice to see that I'm actually talking to someone through my videos rather than just to myself and my camera, so I appreciate you so much.

[@telmamlc]

Audrie, this video besides being relatable brought me motivation to buy my own camera and collect memories. To slow down, and it calmed me down🤍 Thank you for your work

[@sieunee]

Welcome back! I've been waiting very patiently. So happy you're back!

[@AudrieStorme]

I appreciate your patience ♡ thank you so much!

[@Roziecreates]

So happy your back! I'm glad you're feeling up to being back on KZbin!

[@AudrieStorme]

I've been wanting to come back for long, but I kept putting it off which definitely my bad. Trying to prioritize long-form content over short-form this year!

[@NotKekePalmer]

I'm absolutely still interested what the heck? How DARE you? It's more than 5 of us. Glad to have you back!

[@AudrieStorme]

Please forgive me! I had the worst imposter syndrome, but have now seen the error of my ways.

[@baraahsinjab2968]

I noticed you were gone and missed you! I didn’t want to reach out on IG because I was worried you’d feel pressured and I didn’t want you to feel that way. You deserve the break, and we glad to see you again .😊

[@phoebebedford3059]

Very happy you're back! You were my fav KZbinr for a while and the reason I got into film photography, I love your vibe :))

[@kari.mp4]

We're so happy to have you back! This video felt so fresh and cozy, like I'm actually going through an album with a friend. And loved the intro, very cleverly shot!

[@AudrieStorme]

That's the exact feeling I wanted you to have - going through my binder with me! Glad it came through ♡

[@rachellam2433]

we def missed you! you started me on my film journey in back when i started on disposables in january 2022 and now im shooting on my mom's pentax from the 80s. im happy that you're okay and that you took time for yourself 🤍

[@stefthomas9470]

I’m so glad you’re back! These videos were something I looked forward to so much, even if they were short or pointless. It felt like catching up with a friend who is equally stuck in the nineties with me. I wanted to dm you several times but wanted to respect your right to step away with no explanation required 😂

[@AudrieStorme]

I really appreciate that so much

[@majesti1159]

Its so good to see that you're back! I've been checking periodically to see if you posted anything, and I'm so glad I checked today. I love your videos, they've been a big part of my time in college and now I'm junior 😭 anyways, I hope you're doing well and I'm excited to see whats to come

[@terrymukera2432]

I kept looking at your channel hoping you had posted, and finally yesterday I found several videos, am so happy you're back. Your content is so soothing for me, it's unlike any other.

[@AngelaMaryMagick13]

Java is GORGEOUS! Your art is among my most favorite! Welcome back. You make our home in so cal look it’s most authentic and gorgeous.

[@leslychavez211]

Omg finally. I was wondering if you had uploaded just out of curiosity and boom look what I came across. So happy, you are one of my favorites 💟

[@preeti623]

We missed you so much thank you for coming back to filmmaking again I enjoy video the most.

[@ArchiesLens]

yay glad you're back!

[@dianaulait]

audrie 🥹 you stunning, shining human 🤍 happy to see you creating and BEING your creative, authentic self always. sending love!!!!

[@ondobody]

I lost my soul dog of 14 years last summer and I totally understand the grief period and the need to isolate from the world for a bit. Im in that right now. Wishing you lots of healing 🤍 your baby is beautiful and your new baby is also so beautiful 🤍

[@AudrieStorme]

I hope you find peace dealing with your grief. I still find myself going back to those feelings sometimes, but more as fond memories rather than despair now. Also wishing you lots of healing!

[@ondobody]

@@AudrieStorme thank you so much Audrie youre so sweet 🤍 I hope you do too 🤍 The best memories with them are the best to revisit

[@lisadewinter7544]

Have been following you for a few years now and you are mainly the reason I started getting into film and letting my fear go of "not being good enough" as a photographer. Very glad that you are back! I hope 2024 is a heartwarming year for you ღ

[@AudrieStorme]

I think the most important thing I've realized when it comes to anything creative is that other people may criticize and critique you for "doing ____ wrong", but if you're honestly happy with the turnout, who cares? I don't think art would be art if we all followed the same rules.

[@staticbean]

Girrrrlll! I'm just happy you're back. We missed you A LOT here!!

[@AudrieStorme]

I missed you all and KZbin as well! It really felt like a friendship break-up for awhile :( thank you for not giving up on me!

[@yaniepixie]

A lot of us are STILL interested in your channel, Audrie. I hope I sent my messages to your IG but I don't want to bother you on your personal time. It's crazy how our 2023 is almost the same. I also lost my dog in November of 2022, and I took to heart that I wasn't able to work properly, and had to stay at home and work on something else (making home). So happy to hear you're back! Cheers to 2024, new beginnings and more film rolls

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you for the kind words and I'm so sorry for your loss! Though I'm glad to find someone else to relate to; other than Raleigh, it was difficult for me to speak to anyone else about the situation at the time. It was my first ever pet loss as well, so also "new territory". I hope you've been able to manage your grief since then - it still comes in waves for me sometimes, but I think I've transitioned to a place where I'm able to focus on the fond memories.

[@kim-mr7oh]

so glad you’re back 🙌🏽 we missed you

[@BubblesOnDaMoon]

Glad you’re back! ❤🎉💫

[@AudrieStorme]

2024 is my year of more long-form content [if I can keep it together]!

[@cherieem7291]

The way I did a double take at the upload timestamp. You're back! Yay! So happy you're back!

[@AudrieStorme]

2024 is my year of KZbin - I'm manifesting it!

[@samantharuiz6481]

We missed you so much here on KZbin Audrie! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jeseniaacevedo1763]

Hi Audrie, your youtube videos and Tik Toks are what inspired me to shoot film and it has now changed my life, I discovered a passion I didn’t know I had, so thank you. Looking forward to your videos this year 😊

[@AudrieStorme]

I LOVE hearing that. I truly feel like film has changed my life and the way that I approach it as well . Thank you for watching!

[@amykay4108]

I’m also a silent fan and I jumped for joy when I saw you upload! I follow so many channels but I find you to be the most real, down to earth and relatable. Thank you for coming back ❤

[@melissah.9115]

You were missed!! Appreciate you and looking forward to any content you are inspired to make ❤

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so much for the continued support! I miss long-form content so much and definitely trying to accomplish more of it in 2024.

[@majavitale]

This made me feel understood about my grieving time for my cat Mario. Its been 6 months and I still watch videos I made of him every single day. Also your channel is inspiaring I kinda thought about documenting my routines and hobbies too. Thank you Audrie. 💌

[@AudrieStorme]

I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I'm afraid I'm never going to move on, but maybe that's okay? I've come to a place where I just have fond and funny memories of him now. And I'm fully in support of starting a KZbin channel! It's been a source of personal creativity for me for a long time, and I wouldn't have found my career as a video editor without it.

[@VinillaDany83]

Welcome back! You were missed and we’re all so excited for what’s to come! ❤

[@AnaJuma]

Documenting life through photography the way you do is such a beautiful expression of being thankful for life and the little moments that truly matter. Feeling inspired to begin my journey with film. Thank you, Audrie! And welcome back. :)

[@kimabou1733]

Thank you for including us in such intimate video and take us with you through precious captured moments of last year. I’ll always look forward to your next upload and I’ll always be here and I’m sure many feel the same way. Take as much time off as you need and don’t be pressured. And thank you for the inspiration 📸

[@emiliawojtkowiak5785]

I’m so happy you’re back. I was waiting 🥺❣️

[@Thlcnfssnls]

I’m still interested in all your videos girlie! Loving these shots and that you got to spend time with the family. It seems like they really mean a lot to you! And I actually love the film you said messed up (the ones of the beach with the dogs!). Keep posting, we missed you!

[@AudrieStorme]

I know I shouldn't rely on validation, but this is so nice to read 🥹 thank you for the support! I'm trying to make long-form content my priority for 2024, so here's hoping I can put my energy into accomplishing that goal for the year.

[@jordangertje]

Yes you’re back! this is so exciting ❤

[@saturnperosnalhubble_07]

I missed you so much to the extent that i kept rewatching all of your videos non-stop hoping that you would upload a new one 😭😭😭 I have always been a fan of your aesthetic and your way of filming. Also,i learnt alot about cameras and thrift shopping thanks to you ❤❤ I am excited that you're finally back ... Love you so much ❤

[@alyssagov15]

I cannot even describe how happy I am that you are back!!! Your followers are gonna love you and stick by you Audrie, your content always makes me happy and I love listening to your videos while I edit all my wedding sessions. You are amazing

[@marimendo7239]

Im so glad your back!! I really enjoy ur content and the vibe.

[@VeronicaBozaBurton]

New to the channel! LOVED THIS. I’ve been trying to take more pictures and haven’t been able to find the inspiration, but getting into film may be just it - these memories you shared were AMAZING. Thank you for coming back so I could find you!! I totally relate to how coming back to YT can be hard. I’m on a break and putting SO much pressure on myself to make this next video back *spectacular* but I just need to be gentle with myself and post what I love!!!

[@AudrieStorme]

Welcome and thank you for watching! I highly recommend giving film a try if you're lacking in inspiration. It slows down the photography process because you're more intentional with the number of exposures you have to work with, but I also like to see it as capturing a moment in time that can't be recreated in the way that it can with digital. And yes, don't put too much pressure on yourself to come back! Focus on what you're motivated to create and the rest will follow.

[@evrythngiseverything]

Glad you’re back! Always loved your videos!

[@elyseveloria985]

i missed your videos! so glad you’re back 🖤

[@nicksucio]

Welcome back! I agree it is always hard to come back after a break! Beautiful recap of story telling within each month of film! & definitely reminded me of the beautiful kodak ektar saturation colors, shot it once during the fall and loved it (but hate the kodak rising prices) Cheers to more story telling & keep film photography alive!(:

[@camillemiousse2181]

I truly love this and I'm so happy you're back! you make me want to be creative again and shoot more

[@finesatra]

I love all your content on YT and IG. I don't like to "demand" more content because I know that it's not easy at all so I can only enjoy any content there is and support any way possible. I do want to say that I'm really happy to see some more of your content again and will always want to watch no matter how much time passes :)

[@pacifichomestead]

Audrie, Happy to see the thumbnail, I grabbed a cup of iced tea and settled in to watch your year through your lens. Inspirational as always.

[@Tini0]

I forgot how much I love your videos. Your editing style and aesthetic is such an inspiration to me ❤

[@AudrieStorme]

I appreciate you so much - thank you for your continued support!

[@KenyaRuthAmbroson]

I would check your channel every once in a while checking to see if maybe i missed you posting a video so I’m soooo happy you’re back!!! You’re videos are so amazing!!! And you’re so beautiful!!!❤️🎉 welcome back!

[@amiephotos]

Welcome back! So happy to see your beautiful work again

[@parttimepotato]

I know I'm a few days late here cause I've been busy at school this week, but I just wanna say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU'RE BACK- I missed you and your vid editing style so so so much, they remind me that life can be pretty

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so much for the support and wishing you a happier 2024/productive season back at school!

[@n.roberts3638]

So happy you're back Audrie! Ive been following you since 2020, always listening to your lofi playlists during COVID and watching your plant care videos. Best wishes in the new year!

[@numburagwa.38]

Finally! 😍 welcome back girrrll!

[@kyrasaturn]

welcome back! i hope you are gentle with yourself as you readjust to the learning curve of youtube and long form content. you and endlessly talented and we’re here to watch and support your creativity

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so much ♡

[@jaylarcher7410]

I'm so happy you're back. Your videos always bring me joy!

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so so much for continuing to watch!!

[@dancestar722]

So glad to see you back!

[@natashasales]

I was going through my subscriptions as I do every year and your channel is one of those "she can stop making videos forever and I'm still leaving it there". I unsubscribe pretty often to channels I lose interest or that doesn't make me feel that good, and yours is a constant positive. I hope you don't feel pressured to post after this 'comeback' and rather follow inspiration and creativity. I'm happy to see you and wish you the best 💖

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm definitely going with the flow this time and only posting projects I feel inspired to, but I want my approach to be more focused on long-form content rather than short-form like I have been doing the last year. I appreciate your support so much ♡ I never get tired of reading comments like this.

[@tenshiranman]

I missed you! Like so many other commenters , I loved watched your KZbin videos and I've been a silent follower for ages ! Welcome back - I'm so happy to see you back the feed. ❤️

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment ♡

[@crystal4553]

Excited for your videos!! I’ve missed watching your content

[@Grace_0128]

your videos are like a cozy presence 😊 when they pop up in my feed im like omg let's see whats up!!

[@Schneeeulenwetter]

this was my first video I ever saw of you and I loved your calm voice so much! I also do film and often times are frustrated with the result. bc I only do p&s, but yours looked actually really nice aseptic wise! I loved the sunset ones AND the New Years ones! I guess one is always more judge of its own work!

[@Emiliarantza]

AUDRIEEEEE!!! love your comeback!! missed you!

[@brookechytil7964]

Thank god, you’re back!! 🤍

[@charlottelabelle3640]

YEEEESSSSSSS YOU’RE BACK!!! I don’t normally comment but you were one of the first KZbinrs who got me into watching KZbin several years ago. The way you create videos is immaculate 👌🏻

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so much!! I'm a little rusty with my KZbin skills at the moment, but I'm trying to update my video editing skills for long-form content. It's a bit of adjustment after just doing short-form for so long 😅

[@zwarriorprincess100]

I am so happy you are back, have always been checking in every few months to see if you have posted something new haha this is also my first comment ever on youtube, I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos, they really calm and inspire me

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you so much for taking the time

[@maggiebrewer4576]

I missed you!! I checked every few months just to make sure you hadn’t posted something new that I missed. I still watch your lofi study videos and I was hoping you would start posting videos again! This made my day❤️

[@AudrieStorme]

Thank you for the support after so long - I appreciate it so much!

[@abrec310]

I have been waiting patiently! Happy you’re back and happy you were able to have a refreshing rest of 2023 after some really hard times

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment ♡

[@jaclynbaerart]

Love all of this! Thank you for sharing your film photos! You've inspired me to pick my film camera up again this year. - thank you!

[@auntyvic]

OMG I never thought you’d come back but I’m so so happy you did!! You have such a distinct style and personality. We’ve missed you ❤

[@AudrieStorme]

There were times I wasn't sure either, but I really am happy to be posting again. Thank you for the support!

[@auntyvic]

@@AudrieStorme I totally feel that, especially after your loss in the fam. You have a husband and your family and I’m just glad you got to spend quality time with them while you were offline. ✨ I love KZbin but there’s more to life.

WELCOME BACK! I am so excited to see a video from you! I was just thinking the other day that perhaps you decided to quit KZbin altogether.

[@AudrieStorme]

Happy to be back! I definitely thought about quitting at my low points last year, but I'll always have a soft spot for KZbin. Not ready to quit just yet!
