Threshold

The Point

“I’ve never done anything like this, joe. It’s starting to freak me out.”

“Well, uh, neither have I. Kind of the point.”

‘Fear’ 

“It was still scary, it was less scary. It was fun.” 

‘Overwhelmed’ - Emma Bodker

“I just feel like there are so many things I could be doing, and probably want to be doing, that I’m just not.” (Boyhood, 2014)

This animation is part of a comic that I will be releasing this week. It is a response to the Boyhood quote above but taken out of context with the scene rewritten based solely on the quote itself.

Threshold is an ongoing project about the importance of coming-of-age cinema. Exploring how we find comfort in film, especially when seeing a character experiencing the same feelings as ourselves.

All of the images I upload will be based on quotes from a selection of coming of age genre films.

 I am open to film suggestions - My ask box is here!
