Acorn

    In life, there are varying types of people that we may become or encounter. Some will be okay, some will be better. However, extreme opposites exist where there are the unmotivated and the persistent. In this thesis film, Madeline Sharafian demonstrates just that with her little acorn friend.
     Like any other acorn, it fell to the ground when its time came. Others joined it in its departure from the tree. The little acorn, however, soon decided to do something that was unprecedented. I viewed this bold move as a representation of someone breaking free from the cookie-cutter lifestyle and pushing towards their dreams. Unlike the other acorns, this one did not accept its fate and strove for a better planting spot. The colors   while subtle   changes throughout the story and gives each scene a certain mood. What really stood out for me was the acorn's unique expressions. They gave it character and showed its frustration. I admire how Sharafian took a minuscule part of life and made it have such a large impact on the audience. Below is the film for those who are interested.
