CApture Film Festival 2025 – 10. A Clip in Time

[ominous music]

[counter ticking]

NARRATOR: I've always been scared of growing up, and with that, facing multiple new responsibilities. From what I've seen, growing up means becoming a creature of habit, something I'm not. But it seems like something I'm slowly becoming.

I'm not even that old. People in their 20s would call me a baby, but I'm not a kid anymore. I still relish the moments in which I was younger, wishing to be 10 or 5 again with no worries in the world. A huge pile of memories that I'm clinging on to, held together by the clip that is my mind.

My memories, my younger self, what life used to be like, all held together with a single clip. And as I grew older and older, new memories and new experiences came in. So all the ones had to be taken away to make space.

[solemn music]

However, sometimes even going on walks or going home, I see places that make me think about what I did when I was younger. The fun, joyful moments that I had, but sometimes, as I think more and more, the memories become blurrier and blurrier.

[gentle footsteps]

[birds twittering]

What holds them slowly breaks and breaks before they become deformed.
