my name
a mini doc on how my korean/english name was chosen by my parents <3
PRELUDE
Hi everybody!
To celebrate my graduation from NYU Tisch Film school, I wanted to share this short doc project I had to make during my Freshman year of college.
It’s actually quite an important project for me because my first year of college was disrupted by the pandemic. I was living out of my friend’s parent’s house in Connecticut where I stayed to finish out my first year of college online. It really makes me reflect on how far I’ve come to now but I think it still resonates with me as one of my most personal projects, that really speaks to who I am and what I believe in as a storyteller. Without any further ado, please enjoy!
And let me know in the comments, how did your parents decide your name?
Love,
Skylar xx
Welcome to the alumni club! I was named after Uncle Sam, lol
That’s a beautiful video. My wife and I almost named our daughter Skylar, it’s a good name!
