Seconds Of Beauty - 1st round compilation from The Beauty Of A Second on Vimeo.

I love this series of short films where they take submissions of one second clips from people all over the world and put them together into one film. It is amazing to me to see all of these seemingly unrelated clips come together to form a glimpse into the human experience. It is remarkable to be reminded that we are more alike than we are different. There is so much going on that I think sometimes we lose this fact. We all share commonalities but it is our uniqueness that makes things interesting as well. Some see differences as obstacles I see them as opportunities to see the world in a new way.
