Ray Morrow, Emma Gomez, Maggie Maher, Trevor Borgman: Cycles

Artist Statement

I’ve been making videos since I was a little kid, going back to when I would take my parents old camcorder and make little movies with my toys. It’s always been a passion of mine. The ability to tell stories with endless possibilities all through moving images, sounds, lights, is something so captivating to me. Everybody has beautiful stories worth telling, and I believe everybody has the capacity to do so. I have the utmost respect for all forms of art, for people telling their stories. It’s an honor and a privilege for me to be able to go to school to do the thing I love. Cycles is my first big project that I’ve written and directed. It’s the culmination of a whole semester of work, of blood, sweat, and tears. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
