The pandemic almost destroyed me - a cinematic poem

Have you ever woken up and felt the weight of the world on your shoulders? That's not how it should be. It is not your responsibility to hide away because other people say 'the world is a scary place and you should be scared.' Get out there and find out for yourself.
'A Life Unlived' is a cinematic poetry film, partially inspired by a new travel incentive from the German government, whereby residents can pay 9 Euros per month for unlimited rail travel throughout the country (excluding high speed trains). Now more than ever, we can get out and explore.
⚡️
The film was shot on a Sony FX3 with G-Master zoom lenses. Additional aerial footage was captured on the DJI Air 2S. The film was edited on Final Cut Pro with a M1 MacBook and graded in DaVinci Resolve, using the excellent Dehancer plugin. As always, the monologue was filmed in my tiny apartment while the rest was captured around the city of Berlin.

Wow, yet another intense and thought-provoking video accompanied by such perfect music. Along with the words of the poem, the serene and beautiful footage really does show there’s a world out there. A world just waiting, begging even, to be explored. We live in a society where so many of us are not really living, myself included, but we just get on with our lives, accept what we think is the norm and bitch and moan and do nothing about it. We need to live in the moment and embrace the beauty that surrounds us. That’s my plan anyway! 🙏

That’s a great plan. So get out there and see it through 🙏🏼♥️
