The lens becomes my translator, allowing me to express thoughts and feelings that seem to get stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth in real life. I&rsquo;ve always been on the quieter side—the kind of person who overthinks conversations and second-guesses what I&rsquo;m about to say—but the moment I&rsquo;m filming, something clicks. I connect with you all so much more easily, and I can articulate ideas that would leave me stammering face-to-face. It&rsquo;s wild how a camera can be both a barrier and a bridge at the same time.</p>
