Shravana is a Sanskrit word that means hearing, but not in just a
simple sense. Hearing in this case is ‘understanding’. Capturing
hectic beauty, sensory overload, and peace in a place that is so far
different than anywhere I’ve ever been was enlightening. While
traveling around India with my wife, there were times that incredibly
saddened us by what we saw, and others inspired us more than ever.
I nearly threw away this project when I felt as if I didn’t have the
ability to create what I had envisioned. My brother is an artist and
musician, and he learned how to edit his first video by working on
this with me. I simply wouldn’t have been able to finish it without
him. This film is inspired by Leonardo Dalessandri, Matty Brown, and
Brandon Li. Their work has forever changed the way that I see the
world.
