Memory is a funny thing. Depending on where you are in life, it can be your personal

medicine or your worst enemy. This piece is a look at one of mine—sounds and places in and

around my grandmother’s apartment in France. One is Sacré-Cœur, the Sacred Heart Basilica of

the Montmartre neighborhood. For those who grew up with European immigrant parents, this

piece speaks about the bittersweet feelings we might have towards our childhood experiences.

How they can come back to us without warning. Without pause or reason, like sometimes we

Most kids in my generation grew up as filmmakers. Everyone started a Youtube channel, made funny Photobooth videos or made vlogs with friends. Everyone remembers the distinct sound effects and music samples in iMovie, and the ridiculous filters in Photobooth. In elementary and middle school, I had a Youtube channel. I go through the memory of creating short films for my Youtube channel as a kid, from my creative process to my inspirations at the time that led me to my creative ideas, and what made me want to make films. This is a journey through the sound memories of my childhood short films and vlogs and how they influence me today.
