2/01/2022: It finally came time to submit applications for FSU's Digital Media Production program, and I was pressed to create a different kind of video in order to show admissions some variety. I had been a fan of "anxious New Yorker" John Wilson's How To With John Wilson since it began airing in 2020, and I wanted to pay homage to the very raw and empathetic, but also incessantly ironic and outlandish style of the show. In this mini-documentary, I discuss themes of absurdism, climate change, and corporate control, while promoting a message of love and empowerment.
