Script – Wake up. Sit down. Stare at a screen.
Every day… feels the same.
Hours disappear into work — deadlines, projects, pixels.
We tell ourselves we’ll go outside later.
But later never comes
Our whole world starts to shrink…
until it fits inside a glowing rectangle.
And when we finally look up, it’s easy to forget there’s more out there.
When you live in a town or a city, nature feels far away —
hidden behind buildings, buried beneath noise.
If you don’t know where to look…
it almost feels like it’s gone.
But here’s the thing about nature —
it never really leaves.
It’s i n the cracks of the sidewalk,
the wind between buildings,
the river that hums just beyond the traffic.
You don’t have to know where to look.
You just have to… look.

Nice match of view clips and script. Voice recording is crisp. While the clips/photos are clearly specific–Computer desk, Orono scenes, the script, while lyrical, feels generic. Is there a way to make it more personal, with quirky details? Nature is just an idea, but that squirrel, with the bent tail, or that crow on the mailbox, or that sedum in bloom in october–those are real things… Can your camera capture more specifics?
And what if nature is also within as well as outside? Is there a relationship?
You might consider adding some background music–on the subtle side–as a way to make a slightly expanded story with more real details cohere.
