I have been thinking an incredible amount about what I should do for my Self portrait. Honestly, I think I have worried about it a little too much. REally I just want it to be entertaining, but deep, but not too deep. I hate it when people immediately delve entirely too deep. It makes people feel uncomfortable. Plus, that is not me.
So I think..... since cooking is one of my biggest passions that I will center my project around me in the kitchen stirring a big pot. Ill add things to the pot that make the recipe that is me !!!! I'm excited about this project. I will have to use a kitchen that would show me from the front as I add things to the pot. I think I'll have to use my kitchen at home in Jacksonville. We have a stove that's on an island. It should be perfect. I want to dress up like a housewife from the 50's. It's a bit of social commentary about what I think the South believes a woman should do. I'll get into that at another time. I will note that I like cooking because I like it not because it's expected of me.
At the end of the film, I want to pull out of the oven a beautifully messy colorful cake. Hopefully, I can put in some of my dad's music. I want it to be fun, entertaining, lighthearted yet sweet.
I should add that if I was a movie genre..... I would be the nerd love genre.

i love the idea of stirring up a pot of whatever makes up joselyn! and the 50s look is a nice touch. i think this idea has a great balance between focusing in and yet also showing us something about you in a very filmic and metaphorical way. definitely story board it beforehand. if you see it in your head completely before its shot it will help you to make sure you get all the shots you need for post!
