Daria

This is a microdocumentary of my best friend Leah rehousing one of her tarantulas, Daria. This was my first time filming a documentary, and I'm thrilled with what I was able to capture. It is about the dedication to, and the care and patience we have for the things we love. Even when every possible annoying obstacle gets in the way. It’s about being able to have fun and laugh in the face of challenges, especially when you’re able to share them with others. It’s about sharing an intimate experience of something you’re passionate about with those you’re close to. And, most definitely, it is about horrible critter closure locking mechanisms.
