What is it?
Not long ago I was handing out CVs in the UK, and everybody turned me down. Now I’m back home in Thailand, making the biggest bet of my life: 30 days of videos on everything I’ve learned about making footage feel nostalgic. The colour grade, the edits, the music, all of it.
There’s one thing that unites creative people, and it’s nostalgia. If that sounds like your thing, come along.
