❝cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.❞

An ellipsis is a basic storytelling term that refers to time left out of a narrative.
Sometimes, it is cut because the audience will understand what happened without being shown.

Sometimes, it is cut intentionally to hide something from the audience, to create suspense or mystery in the narrative.

...

ALL FILMS ARE CUT. Even when they're uncut, they're cut. There are moments that an audience will never see, moments captured and then destroyed to keep a film intact. A film is sliced into a million frames; there are shards that stay off-screen forever. Sometimes, that's where the answers are.

ANOTHER STORY. I KNOW. I HATE MYSELF. ISKALSÑANSBDJPFÑ.
HATE ME.

YOU GUYS KNOW ME. I am wildly suspicious and paranoid, and it was better for me to funnel that energy into this mystery/thriller than anything else. Keep in mind that we're all super nosy, annoying, anxious college students, so...

This is just my take.

Since Snow is coming to an end soon and I'm looking towards the horizon (graduation!!), I really wanted to dive into some of my experiences studying film and animation at an art school in New York.

Just so you know, at my school, the dynamic between film and animation students is tense AF. So prepare for another slow burn enemies-to-lovers relationship. 🔥

2024 NOTE
THIS STORY SAID "COMING IN 2021", MY GOD, IT'S 2024.
This is a story I really wanted to come back to eventually. I'm trying. For those of you that DO... or DID KNOW ME—I know it's been forever, I'm so sorry—I recently found some inspiration to bring back Ellipsis and hopefully, hopefully, hopefully FINISH IT. Here's to a chaotic comeback?
