I.Hate.Myself
Teenage angst is a very common thing in a hectic country like Singapore. Living to people's expectation of yourself, can be a very difficult thing to do. Fighting inner demons of Pride, just to set up a fake stage for everyone to watch. In this such case, young teenager, Wesley, lives the world of Pride and Angst, battling each day of never-ending surrender, which will drive him to his grave. This short film, based on Pride before a fall, will demonstrate to you the capabilities of these 2 deadly sins which can drive you to be something you are not, and something you long to destroy, sin.
I.Hate.Myself.
The concept of this title is primarily based on the idea that though it may seem that people are so full of themselves till a point that they love themselves, they are actually not feeling that way. It is this inner hatred, the longing for inner peace and the destroyal of the inner demons. Thus, the title brings about the factual views of the person who is suffering, rather than what people think of him/her as we often overlook the truth behind things, but jump to conclusions on how and what we feel.
