"Everything's going so fast that I'm kind of not ready for it"
Synopsis
Delving into the thoughts, hopes and fears of young people on the cusp of adulthood, This short by Oliver Richomme explores what young people of today dream of, are afraid of, their predictions of the future, questions about life and what ultimately inspires and frustrates them. The film does not have any reference to time or place. Its approach is timeless with a universal visual language. However, the choice of location and costume is very intentional. Richomme believes the young people featured have been forced to concern themselves with worries beyond their years and this is portrayed in the kitsch and dated style, look and feel, which harnesses a sense of nostalgia and anachronism.
