About dopamine

Throughout my MA studies I have been drawn to using experimental film as a tool to communicate topics and emotions. I like to explore different digital materials for each project taking time and consideration over what aesthetic would be appropriate for each narrative, story and audience.  

I have chosen to base this project on dopamine, a vital neurotransmitter in the human body that plays a crucial role in experiencing pleasure through the brain's reward system. As someone who has experienced dopamine dysfunction from birth, I am a member of the invisible disability community. Through this project, I wanted to capture and depict the journey and emotional experiences associated with our relationship with dopamine over time.

This project provides a glimpse into the daily challenges of living with dopamine dysfunction. I aim to create an understanding and awareness of this condition that is nearly imperceptible to the general public.
