Much like, Wolf at the Door, this is a video that I ultimately created for myself. My motivation being, the world and fandom is different for Black folk and I relished the opportunity to play with that theme. And I got to vid so many beautiful faces.

Length: 3:46
Character: James Baldwin

Content Notes: For seinmit - Festivids 2019
Creator Notes: So, I switched from Premiere to Da Vinci Resolve and updated my GPU last winter. After clearing out some IRL work, was interested in taking my new setup out for fanvid making. I poked around and found a fan exchange then spent days searching for anything with which I was remotely familiar. I eventually finally found a series of prompts that were well within my scope.
