Movie of the Week: Untitled by Pilar Rivera
Having a difficult time explaining her social anxiety, Pilar Rivera’s experimental film Untitled gives the audience a sense of what it is like to live with anxiety.
Pilar’s film gives the audience a perspective on her personal feelings. She hopes to convey a part of herself so others could step into her shoes in a figurative sense: “I have social anxiety and weekly panic attacks, so anxiety is on my mind all the time. I have a hard time explaining what it is like whether it’s to my therapist, my mom or my friends, so my goal is to make people feel the way I do every single day. Going on social media or interacting with other people, I want my audience to step into my shoes and walk around symbolically in my life and experience.”
The Summer Lab is a four-week intensive experimental filmmaking workshop for rising 9th and 10th graders.
