I chose Stan Store because freedom is a very specific feeling that has so much pottential. Specially the kind of freedom that shows up when you stop waiting and start building something that is yours. Time, choices, and income become under your control.
The narrative is written like an internal monologue. Short, honest, sometimes uncomfortable. Visually, the film stays close to the character. Tighter frames, tired light and real pauses.
The breakthrough is small and almost accidental, which makes it believable. But also pivotal. The ending opens up, not to show success, but relief. Freedom as a feeling you recognize.

I'm so happy I managed to submit this in-time! I literally did it in the last few hours and had so so much fun with Morphic! I think the've built something promising. I already see new mechanics of work that I don't want to give away in other tools.
I made a new sci-fi character and a short cinematic story. It's about how our lives might be more connected than we think.
I wanted to mix sci-fi visuals that look real with spiritual ideas. I thought about things like consciousness, compassion, and the cycle of life. Instead of a usual action-packed future story, I aimed for something more emotional and that makes you think.
I created the character, wrote the story, and then used Cantina to make the character and world real in a short pilot episode.
I never thought I’d share my own story on a public platform.
But I guess Cantina managed to break through something I’ve struggled with for a long time: turning the thoughts and stories in my head into something real.
I’ve never been particularly comfortable speaking directly to a camera. Maybe this project will change that too.
I’m creating a complete original series based on stories and experiences from my own life, Things I’ve never really shared publicly.
Because I think a lot of us have lived through moments we never had the right person to honestly talk to about.
So, for the first time, I’m turning those experiences into a story.
Episode 1 is coming soon.
My own voice.
My own character.
My own story.This isn’t just a series I’m creating.
It’s a part of my life I’m finally choosing to tell.
I've been working a lot lately, but not necessarily from my desk.
We've had family visiting this month, so I've spent a lot of my days showing them around, taking little trips, working from cafés, answering messages on trains, and squeezing work into whatever space I can find.
And honestly, I love that my work allows me to do that. Being able to move around, travel, spend time with family and still work from wherever I happen to be is one of the things I value most about working for myself.
But there's a bit of a contradiction in that flexibility that I've been feeling lately: the more freedom I have over where and when I work, the harder it can be to actually stop working.
There's always something I could do. One more email, one more thing to finish, one more hour I could squeeze in before going out or while I'm waiting for the train.
And sometimes I think the hardest part isn't having time off.
