2024 – EUROIFC

“Won’t Figure It Out Tonight” explores the continuous journey of an artist to turn the lonely and sometimes dark moments of life into flashpoints for growth and creation. The Hauntingly beautiful yet dangerous Alaskan Winter wilderness conveys the juxtaposition of beauty and loneliness within the artist’s soul. It explores the beautiful fear we experience once we take off our masks and explore the unknown in ourselves and our world through art. Filmmaker Emily takes us on a journey as she explores her passion in music and simultaneously conveying these themes in words song and cinematography.
