00:00Wellbutrin in a video. Hi, I'm Ava Victor. I am a filmmaker and I am on InStyle's 2026
00:06Breakthrough List, the vintage style wood sign shop. And I was the only one who worked there
00:12and it was very lonely, but I made friends with the security guard down the street and he would
00:15bring me like shrimp Alfredo. So I was performing when no one was asking me to. And that's sort of
00:21how it came to be. There is a film that I heard about called Clarissa. It's by these twin filmmakers
00:28called Aerie and Chuko Asiri. When this film comes to a theater near me, I will be seeing it. And
00:33this
00:34is a breakthrough moment for them for me. Cher. It doesn't make a lick of sense, but it would be
00:39my
00:39first choice. Bottega Boots. That was my big, I finished filming the movie splurge. I didn't even
00:46know the edit would be like a million times harder. The Incredibles. That's a good movie. This is when
00:52Fergie did all the flips. Wellbutrin in a video. It was only Midnight Sun. The Lift. If you know,
00:58you know. Julia Roberts with the big suit. And I think about it all the time. And whenever I think,
01:03what do I want to look like when I go to this thing? It's Julia Roberts in the big suit.
01:07I low-key
01:07kind of won a Grammy once. We were on like a Mahler Symphony, San Francisco Symphony album that won a
01:12Grammy. And I was in the children's choir. So emotionally, I have won a Grammy. I would emotionally
01:16thank all my friends who were in chorus with me, who were nice to me. Going through puberty with a
01:21group
01:21of f***ing girls who are all gay but closeted and mean, that s*** will kill you. I don't really
01:28call people to celebrate. I don't really celebrate. That said, people have been encouraging me to
01:32celebrate more, but I just don't live like that. I live in more sort of like a depressive state.
01:35You just have to make things you want to make. And that's really all it is. Because there's no other
01:40moment, really. I don't think the moments feel like the big thing. The big thing is like getting to
01:46make the thing you want to make.
