Productive Frustration is the title of a series of short video diaries concerning resistance. The title of the series refers to my everyday struggle/need to be productive, in a situation that is frustrating. This project is a combination of animation, video, 16mm film and voiceover to illustrate the disordered and erratic thoughts that are narrated. Each piece has a separate theme, imagery, and a narrative that deals with the concepts of resistance and hope for change.
