SOMETERSE | A VIDEO SELF PORTRAIT OF CHASE ARRINGTON

For my directing the narrative class at SCAD, we were asked to make a film that showcases who we are, our perspectives on life. This last year has had a huge impact on me, I'm learning more and more what it means to become a man. Not a man's man, or a lady's man, but a man of God. It's not easy, but I believe it is the way we fulfill our purpose in life. Through a life of gratitude towards our creator, we can have great peace and love like we were originally intended to have.

I learned so much in making this and it has given me so much insight on how I go about in the world of film and music.

The song was actually given to me by my maid and dear dear friend back home, Angela, who has been a huge vessel God has used to tell me what I've needed to hear. I title this film SOMETERSE because it means "To Submit." It was the words of advice that she gave me along with this song. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I see it as plain as day and it's only becoming more clear to me that my role in life is to submit to a higher authority and to trust Him completely without fear.

A special thanks to Gabriel Stiritz for shooting this for me, and Mike Winters and Dominic Vega for working on the recording, we got it done in less than an hour with only 2 piano takes and 1 Vocal take. Doesn't and won't always work out THAT well, but God was good to us this time around.

Hey man! This is phenomenal! I'm so glad you are being such a witness in that place. I want to come down and visit you guys around the end of the year if that will work out. I've missed you so much, man :)

Well done, Chase, well done! Now I may not believe in what you are saying, but it's all done rather beautifully.
