With this my thesis film, I am trying to capture the moment an athlete has before a match or game.
The time where all of their doubts and insecurities rear their ugly heads. I feel it is important for the audience to understand, that the athlete who one sees on the field, or in this case mat, has doubts, and hesitations.
While athletes may be calm and collected when the public sees them, they aren't always like that. I want to linger on that moment in the locker room, while the athlete is alone and alone must struggle with themselves. Because only once they overcome their inner struggles can they overcome the external ones that face them on the mat.
