To describe the period of March and April of 2020 as something unprecedented and unexpected, that would be an understatement. It was a period of confusion, paranoia, and isolation all stemming from the initial outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Fast forward almost a year later and.....we're still here :/. An unfortunate reality, but one that has given me plenty of experiences and personal growth I never would have thought of before. A weird, but interesting trend that I found occurred as a result of all this isolation, change in life, and even Tik Tok, was something I like to call the "Main Character phenomenon."

There was a trend on Tik Tok where creators would make videos talking about times in life that make you feel like the main character or songs that make you feel like you're the main character. Many users and creators carried on this sentiment on video comments, posts, and in everyday conversations. It was fascinating to me because I also subscribed to this idea and, like many others, wanted to feel like the main character in my life. It felt like a kind of awakening where people became more conscientious and wanted to take control of their lives; to not sit on the sidelines anymore.
When coming up with ideas on our short film, we decided that referencing or making a commentary regarding this phenomenon is something that we should explore in our short film. Discussing why people feel this way, what it makes them feel, where it comes from, and the consequences of chasing this feeling are all possible subjects for us to explore.
