**A Beautifully Earnest Musical Journey** Well, I am very honored to be the first-ever review of this movie on this site. Had the distinct pleasure of watching this due to being friends with the director, Lindsay Katt, on TikTok (back when I was active on that site, it is). What a beautiful labor of love this movie is. Beautiful music, wonderful concepts for each segment. I love the idea of a collection of music videos strung together to make an overarching story. And what an affecting story it is, too. For example, there is one moment in particular depicting artistic erasure that was so simple, yet so devastating in its execution, it will stick with me forever. I’ve kept longing that this would get a proper release so more people can enjoy it. It’s saddening to me that it apparently is still unreleased. Lindsay, if you’re reading this, I love this movie and I’m hoping that one day, its distribution problems will be resolved and more people can enjoy this scrapbook of musicality.
