learning of freedom, discovering it within yourself, how you can be surrounded by it and yet it can seem hidden. lonely. lonely are the souls that yet have not received it. discovering, running with freedom. hmm, hesitant. finally, looking at the beautiful sunset and knowing, there will be a tomorrow.
Okay, so I'm no expert. But what I got from this is the idea of putting off what you want for your life until "tomorrow" and going through the day to day, doing what you have to do, meandering through the mundane, mediocrity of life. But every now and then, you come face to face with those lingering thoughts in the back of your mind desperately searching for an escape. Searching for freedom. It shakes us, and wakes us up. It can make us feel emotional, depressed, overwhelmed, anxious... Because who we are and who we want to be are not always aligned. But many of us, rather than dealing with that feeling, chasing our dreams, abandoning our fears of failure and going after what truly aligns with our soul, just say "I'll do it tomorrow" and keep going on and on. Before we know it, the day is over. And the next day. And the next day, as shown by the sunset at the end. And the last shot perfectly encapsulates that feeling of being half alive that can really haunt us when we don't chase after our dreams in life. We are forced to reckon with that pain of not living life the way we want to. So we have part of us that feels excited, happy, optimistic, joyful, hopeful... Alive. And yet another part of us that is bored, depressed, afraid, anxious, alone, unhappy, hopeless... Dead. So the question is, which will we choose? Will we choose to live today, to break free, to realign ourselves with our purpose? Or just continue to walk through life complacent and afraid of ever taking a risk?... You decide.
I've been going through a rough time since quarantine started, I thought I was recovering and my life seemed great, I was meeting new people and feeling hopeful. Next thing I know the guy I was dating leaves me for someone else and then the world goes on full lockdown. I'm overwhelmed and overthink a lot, I isolated myself, procastinated and I'm digging my own grave at this point tbh, I feel like I'm ruining my own life so... I needed this, thank you^^
It was worth a watch just for that sunset and your synched running alone. The rest is of course great too. I love how you depictioned freedom, change and discovering yourself. Whole crew deserves a standing ovation.
OMG I JUMPED WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION! SO HAPPY YOU POSTED HERE. HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET BUT JUST WANNA SHARE THE EXCITEMENT! Edit- that was haunting and beautiful
I wish I lived in an area where there would be a likelihood of me sitting at a coffee shop and Josh Taylor could be there too. I swear, this man's creative spirit is such an uplifting energy. I feel so drained with people in my country. I wish I could experience the differences in people that there is in Cali on the daily. ;-;
The saddest people are able to find the most beauty in those moments. There is always hope for tomorrow, but we cannot wait until then to become the person we want to be. Waiting will only waste time. We cannot forget to thank the people by our side that push us and motivate us and inspire us. Our opportunities are always right in front of us and we have the freedom to reach them, but we are afraid. Sunsets show us the beauty and hope in an ending as a signature from God.
Pleeeeease make more! I’ve listened to you guys for awhile and randomly found your artist on the rise and learned your name. Convenient timing you uploaded 😁
Dude you are so talented, and I was blown away when I found out that you directed and edited the "still feel", that video is next level! God bless you man! Your creativity is so cool
it's so encouraging to know that there's this group of creatives in socal who do this kind of work together. I see talent being cultivated. so exciting!!
Thanks. The message is beautiful and encouraging, I needed it. I was thrilled with the video, you were very insightful with the details, they made me very sensitive 🥺
Hello Mr. Taylor! I don't know if you'll see this, but I just want you to know that seeing your work inspires me and carries me away, as cliche as that sounds. I hope I can meet you someday! :D

This dude is a genius and this 5 mins of video proved it.
I love when a video can do people think about it with a lot of theories. Big round of applause for everyone involved in this short film.
