Appalachian State University - Boone, North Carolina - Fall 2008

Описание: this is one of those days in the late 2000s i probably wouldn’t remember if it wasn’t for these clips. at the time they didn’t mean much, i was just recording because creating longer videos on a point & shoot was still a novelty. we were sitting in a field that’s now long gone, our friends walked up drinking sweet tea eating ice cream and smoking cigarettes. someone found rusty nail clippers and we made the grass whistle. the sun doesn’t look like this anymore and the grass was paved over, but im happy i have these videos to remember it this way.

this was at Appalachian State in Boone, NC in Fall 2008.

Generation Y is an experimental short film that weaves found digital camera footage from 2003 to 2009 into a narrative montage. It pays homage to the rise of social media and digital photography through the eyes of millennial teenagers, accompanied by an original score and monologue. A companion 298-page collaborative photography book of the same name further explores the unfiltered, meaningful moments that shaped the millennial generation’s coming of age as the first to grow up online. The film captures both cringe-worthy and authentic snapshots of youth: raw, wild, and real.
