I wish I knew what to say without it sounding incredibly hollow. I am so sorry for your loss. I think this video is a beautiful tribute and I am very glad you made it.
God damn. Thank you for reminding me that I need to try again and try harder to make a film about the person I lost in my life. This lets me know it's possible. And as a film, this dances. It really dances.
So, I have no idea if I will ever be able to secure the time and funding but: I would love nothing more than to help share other people's stories. If I won the lottery today I would use all of it to make short films about stories of loss, love, and hope that don't make it to Hollywood. I don't know if you'd want to work together with someone like me -- I'm an amateur. I completely understand why a project as personal as the one you're describing might feel best as a completely independent project. But hey - I figured I'd attach my contact information anyway just in case. I'm always happy to talk about projects like this. If you ever want to talk about the film you would make, or learn what little I know about video editing, or just talk about the person you miss, here's my email address: alexandra.martin.kane@gmail.com
I'm so sorry for your loss, and thank you for making this video. I lost a family member to suicide at 14 too, and that feeling of "I should have known" resonated so much with me - even though we were just kids, and we couldn't have known. And even if we had, we may not have been able to do anything much to help. You are such a talented person, and so full of life. I'm sure your father would be really proud of you, and see his own sunshine reflected in you. ❤
Powerful. Suddenly lost my dad last year. This helps me process and I don't have the talent and creativity to express myself the way you do, but this is an outstanding film and I hope it not only helps you heal, but others as well.
Thank you. I don't know if it helps you to read this, at all, but until very recently I believed that I didn't have any talent to express myself at all. If you'd asked me three years ago I would have said that I was just a boring person with an okay job and some nice friends. So, if you ever want to make something that you feel might help you heal: you never know what one person might see as talented. But thank you for this.
Thanks for making this and sharing something so difficult, poignant and raw. Your last line of not being able to hear the sunlight in his voice, reminded me of the musical Fun Home. It also deals with a woman coming to terms with how much her father's death defines her. And it is also beautiful.
Sometimes we don’t see further when we get to know about an incident with a person happened. Sometimes we only see them as a story rather than a character, and even when we hear another event related to them we put first the feeling of the first story. We could feel sad even if it was a funny story, or angry although they did a nice thing. But people go through phases and we need to understand what a memory represents. Besides all the life of a person, a memory is the way to encapsulate a feeling. The closest way to get a feeling instantly, and that goes beyond any past or future event
My condolences for the loss of your father Miss 😔 While I know it’s not the same, I myself have lost 5 family immediate members in death already within my short time 🤏🏻 on this planet 🌎 Ranging from grandparents, to uncles, and more 🪦 So know loss and the void it leaves behind 🫥 You genuinely do seem like a beautiful young Miss that’s incredibly intelligent 🧠 and has her head on straight 👌🏻 Don’t get me wrong while I absolutely do hear 👂🏻 the pain 💔 in your voice as you tell this tale 🥺 I do genuinely wish to tell you Lexi that life goes on 🫂 Life does get better ❤️🩹 and the grieving process we feel 😭 Will never 🙅🏻♂️ last forever 🥲 I can promise you that 😉 Best wishes 🤞🏻 and of course, thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing this project of yours with us 🤲🏻

You genuinely do seem like a beautiful young Miss that’s incredibly intelligent 🧠 and has her head on straight 👌🏻 Don’t get me wrong while I absolutely do hear 👂🏻 the pain 💔 in your voice as you tell this tale 🥺 I do genuinely wish to tell you Lexi that life goes on 🫂 Life does get better ❤️🩹 and the grieving process we feel 😭 Will never 🙅🏻♂️ last forever 🥲
I can promise you that 😉 Best wishes 🤞🏻 and of course, thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing this project of yours with us 🤲🏻
A tragic story, beautifully told.
I can see how we share certain subset of the darkness. You are still a ballerina - as always. You just do not perform for mortals. Dance, Alexandra.
