another year of 35mm film — failures & favorites

Before moving forward into 2024, I wanted to look back one more time and review what it was like shooting film photography over the past year. In 2023, I felt the lowest that I ever have creatively and lost my love for visual storytelling on both digital and analog. This video is all about my film failures, favorites, insights, and moments of inspiration that came along the way on my journey back to 35mm film. I'm aiming to make more of an effort to post long-form content this year, so subscribe for more nostalgia, film photography, video editing tutorials, and lifestyle content! #analog #35mmfilm #filmphotography

So happy you’re back ! I’m actually a silent fan and this is my first comment ever on youtube haha I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you for a few years now and that I really love your aesthetics ❤

[Roziecreates]

So happy your back! I'm glad you're feeling up to being back on YouTube!

[sieunee]

Welcome back! I've been waiting very patiently. So happy you're back!

[kari.mp]

We're so happy to have you back! This video felt so fresh and cozy, like I'm actually going through an album with a friend. And loved the intro, very cleverly shot!

[leslychavez]

Omg finally. I was wondering if you had uploaded just out of curiosity and boom look what I came across. So happy, you are one of my favorites 💟

[stefthomas]

I’m so glad you’re back! These videos were something I looked forward to so much, even if they were short or pointless. It felt like catching up with a friend who is equally stuck in the nineties with me. I wanted to dm you several times but wanted to respect your right to step away with no explanation required 😂

[majesti]

Its so good to see that you're back! I've been checking periodically to see if you posted anything, and I'm so glad I checked today. I love your videos, they've been a big part of my time in college and now I'm junior 😭 anyways, I hope you're doing well and I'm excited to see whats to come <3

[terrymukera]

I kept looking at your channel hoping you had posted, and finally yesterday I found several videos, am so happy you're back. Your content is so soothing for me, it's unlike any other.

We missed you so much thank you for coming back to filmmaking again I enjoy video the most.

[AngelaMaryMagick]

Java is GORGEOUS! Your art is among my most favorite! Welcome back. You make our home in so cal look it’s most authentic and gorgeous.

Audrie, this video besides being relatable brought me motivation to buy my own camera and collect memories. To slow down, and it calmed me down🤍 Thank you for your work

[ondobody]

I lost my soul dog of 14 years last summer and I totally understand the grief period and the need to isolate from the world for a bit. Im in that right now. Wishing you lots of healing 🤍 your baby is beautiful and your new baby is also so beautiful 🤍

[NotKekePalmer]

I'm absolutely still interested what the heck? How DARE you? It's more than 5 of us. Glad to have you back!

[phoebebedford]

Very happy you're back! You were my fav YouTuber for a while and the reason I got into film photography, I love your vibe :))

[baraahsinjab]

I noticed you were gone and missed you! I didn’t want to reach out on IG because I was worried you’d feel pressured and I didn’t want you to feel that way. You deserve the break, and we glad to see you again .😊

[lisadewinter]

Have been following you for a few years now and you are mainly the reason I started getting into film and letting my fear go of "not being good enough" as a photographer. Very glad that you are back! I hope 2024 is a heartwarming year for you ღ

[yaniepixie]

A lot of us are STILL interested in your channel, Audrie. I hope I sent my messages to your IG but I don't want to bother you on your personal time. It's crazy how our 2023 is almost the same. I also lost my dog in November of 2022, and I took to heart that I wasn't able to work properly, and had to stay at home and work on something else (making home). So happy to hear you're back! Cheers to 2024, new beginnings and more film rolls <3

[staticbean]

Girrrrlll! I'm just happy you're back. We missed you A LOT here!!

[cherieem]

The way I did a double take at the upload timestamp. You're back! Yay! So happy you're back!
