  Speaker 1: I think it was hard because my dad passed away
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: during COVID.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: And so we had to.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Have like a virtual... No one can be around.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: No one can be around.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I went to the funeral home and my aunts wouldn't
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: even hug me.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: They all had masks on. So that was weird.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, my mom was there. You know, I think
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: she was the biggest line of support. Chris was for
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: sure too. My dad's two good friends, Chris and Ruby,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we would all hang out. They were like, they were
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: really close friends. And so they were the ones... who
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: are really that we were all kind of there for
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: each other during that time. And it was nice because
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: they knew my dad most recently and, and we all
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: had experiences together hanging out. And so I made, I
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was able to keep the memory alive and like talk
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: about him more with them. And that was a really
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: good support system.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So I think Chris and Ruby were the two, two
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: main people that I were just kind of able to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: relate in a different way.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Cause again, they were just close to him also.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And, Ruby thought of my dad like her second dad
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in a way. So, um, yeah, it was good to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: have that little support system for sure.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: How did the, how is storytelling look for you now?
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Cause I know he was like the big catalyst for
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the storytelling aspect of life. Did you, do you feel
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: like you still really enjoy storytelling or creativity in the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: sense of the art world or is it more, um,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more sad because he's not there
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to kind of spearhead it?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm always going to miss how like he
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was just full of stories. Every time he talked to him,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: different story. He was writing a script before he passed away.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: He had a little children's book. He wrote out that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I still want to like kind of publish, even if
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's just for myself one day. But I've always liked,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I always loved creative writing growing up. I kind of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: fell out of it a little, not it was before
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: he passed away. But writing is something I want to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: get back into. Kind of in his honor in a way.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I was doing video editing for a while. So I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was like filming and editing videos for like different events
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and things of that nature. And I would use things
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he told me for a storyline to not just create
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a video and like a recap of the event, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: really try to like capture a story and think of like,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know, the buildup and the climax and like a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: big ending.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Little things that he taught me, especially when I was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: doing video editing and stuff, would be influenced by just
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: what I've learned through him. More recently, I've been thinking
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: about just trying to get back into writing. I loved
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: ceramics and music, but he was like the artist of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the family, for sure. And I did art in different ways.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Storytelling in general will always be.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: These special hold special place in my heart.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Even when I watch movies now, I'm like, my dad
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: would love watching movies and like doing commentary the whole time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, how did my dad see this? Or like,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you know, he's always talking about.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The camera angles and why they did this. And it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: kind of brings a whole new perspective to, to stories
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in general, which is nice.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: What do you think makes a good story? Do you
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: think there has to be a certain thing? And what
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I mean by that is not like, Oh, a certain
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: subject or whatever, but a certain, um, arc so to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: say that makes a good story.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I mean the standard you know I'm sure you heard
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of the bell curve uh you know and I mean
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that's just standard I don't but I think like a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: good movie is gonna have like originality that maybe doesn't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: follow the typical bell curve and thinks outside the box
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: uh I always love movies where you have to like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: watch a couple times and you're like trying to figure
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: out like Donnie Darko is one of my favorites where
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you watch it once and you're like what?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And then you like watch it again. So like movies
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that kind of make you think about it. Um, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: think those make good movies.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And just really like, you know, creativity, like putting, you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: could tell when someone like puts their heart into something
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and not just like pumping something out, but like actually
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: takes the time.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: So that makes it special.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure. Is there like a recent film
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you've really enjoyed? But you were like, this is good storytelling.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I like this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I just watched two good movies that my same friend recommended.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: One is called...
