I Am An Individual

Best Fashion Film nomination - Canada Int. Fashion Film Festival Official Selection - Copenhagen Fashion Film Festival Official Selection - Berlin Fashion Film Festival (Online Showroom) I Am An Individual celebrates unique human identities through five personal stories of love, appearance, friendship, empowerment, and dreams. Each chapter is a true story, told to us by the models themselves, inspired by their own life experiences releasing from life’s labels, stigmas, and conventions. "Nikola’s story: The Only Label" On an open field of grass, Nikola and Yoselin slowly walk towards each other, representing the long journey Nikola took for love. "Jekill’s story: Not a Shell" In a world which rewards conventions and is harsh to women who challenge them, Jekill refuses to compromise her appearance. "Ruta’s story: The Moon" Ruta was lonely and unsure of her identity. At a club she finds a friend, and more. "Leslie’s story: Seed" Leslie overcame bullying at a young age with her mother’s help. She, in turn, hopes to provide inspiration for other women. "Esteban’s story: Passim" A circus show captured Esteban’s imagination as a child and since then he hasn’t stopped dreaming, releasing labels and stigmas along the way.
