A person’s college years can be some of the most transformative years of their life. Many students are exposed to a newfound sense of independence. While independence is rewarding, it can also be overwhelming. The end of one’s college years especially can create a vast array of emotions, positive and negative. The social, emotional, and mental challenges I faced throughout the past couple of years encouraged the development of an album and its accompanying short film. This short film highlights some experiences and challenges faced by a young adult from a Latino immigrant family in the 21st century. This album consists of pop, electronic, R&B, and classical musical elements that create a harmonious piece of work. The accompanying short film takes a look at my memories, present-day experiences, and future aspirations. The short film centers around themes of nostalgia, identity, coming-of-age, and family. I hope that viewers can relate to the experience of discovering oneself to remember the past, live in the present, and look forward to the future.
