“My mission is to create and tell stories for people to feel authentically seen and inspired through dance, film, and photography. As a dancer myself, I am creatively inspired to tell stories through movement and abstract narratives.

This is a short film that explores the emotional state of loneliness, isolation, and comparison leading to burnout. We are constantly observing others, which ultimately leaves us feeling even more alone. Among our peers this can be especially sensitive, because oftentimes we are looking for similar versions of success.” -Sammy Mandich
