Love the cinematography especially the shot of you in the door window; is it meant to be intentional symbolism of being stuck inside?

Yes!!!! I wanted a shot through the window to have a frame within a frame that makes the classroom feel even smaller. Thank you! I always feel so happy when someone thinks about my films and the intentionality of the shot choices, I appreciate the thoughtful comment!

Emotional depth & cinematic shots in film are what I live for! I love a scene that draws your attention with barely a cue, too many and I feel patronized. Excellent work Maria 🙂‍↕️
