Created for my Documentary Production course at Emerson, this short film was the result of an ongoing stream of consciousness, what makes some friendships last while others quietly fade?

As college came to an end, I found myself reflecting on connection. Most especially through all the life changes, moves, and growing pains of the past few years. I kept circling back to one friend in particular, someone who, even from thousands of miles away, has always found a way to stay close.

The film uses Georgie to explore something much bigger... how effort, joy, and presence can keep the right people tied together. EVEN when life gets in the way!

Through interviews, stories, and moments of reflection, Growing Up, Not Apart takes a brief look at how friendships evolve and what it means to hold onto the ones that matter.
