This project took a long time, beginning with a few scrambled notes from a couple of years ago and me wondering why I enjoy immersing myself into certain stories even though they would be horrible experiences in real life. At first, it was just a collection of short observations of particular tropes and genres, but I challenged myself to connect them into a more cohesive analysis. The result is still very exploratory in nature and perhaps not as concise as my other videos, but I hope you will enjoy the journey :)

Home alone for me is too whimsical. Yes there’s the excitement of preparation for a battle at night but there are many more sensitive and poignant examples of that. Again, brilliant video. Far better than what I could do but some feedback. I’ve subscribed on multiple platforms to your videos. Your voice is great

This was the one that made me realize that something special was happening here at LSOO and that these essays were something far greater than the scored of books and text, lectures, critiques, seminars and millions of internet youtube videos that i have sat through and consumed . This was the one that sparked the end of a journey that would be reborn anew as a dance. We are all at once ordinary, and heroic. powerful and weak, victims and victimizers. Powerful, insightful and profoundly wise work here.
