"What Once Was"
dir. Zakary Hori (2024) | 13 minutes
As my first directorial and writing debut, the project is a short, narrative drama about a family navigating the experience of packing up a life-long home.
One recent, yet powerful memory that influenced this story was my grandmother's move from her large home to a smaller senior-style apartment, an event that brought together various generations of my family. While such an event was so simple and undramatic, sharing this experience with people I grew up with was a stark reminder of how often we take these moments for granted. Grappling with the realization that a physical home no longer offers that same refuge of safety and security can be profoundly disorienting. Coupled together with my feelings upon graduating college, the emotional intensity of this inner-turmoil was something I wanted to capture in the film. From the writing to the directing and editing, my main goal was for the story to resonate with others navigating similar stages of life. |
