00:00Trusting your instincts isn't always easy, but when you do, the world opens up to you.
00:05My name is Amelia, and I'm a director. Welcome to my world.
00:13The first time I stepped on set as a director, I was 11. As someone who didn't really fit in
00:19in
00:19high school or middle school, I didn't have a lot of friends. I was really shy and really
00:24introverted, so when I stepped on set, I was like, oh my god, this is what it feels like to
00:28belong.
00:28This is what it feels like to be in the right place at the right time.
00:32It's my favorite part of directing and being on a set, that feeling of belonging.
00:37So yes, I am a director, but that's not all I am. We're more than our labels, and we tend
00:43to forget
00:44that a lot of the time. We forget that we're multifaceted, complex beings that have different
00:49interests. I find inspiration in many places. I think directing my latest LG campaign helped me
00:55realize that I'm not just this one thing, you know? The whole concept was amazing. It was all about
00:59connecting these awesome young artists through what made them special and what made them unique.
01:04LG gave me a lot of independence and creative freedom on this project and allowed me to make
01:08it my own. What makes you special and what makes you unique is also what makes you belong.
01:14I think life's good when you find your place in the world. Over time, I've come to realize that
01:18belonging is not about where I am geographically. It's more of a state of being. What makes you
01:23different is what makes you special. Trust your instincts.
