Filmmaker Emily Hopcian on telling a story of home, and venturing beyond it

“I’m learning that life isn’t about the destinations we can boast about getting to; it’s about all the walking in between that feels pointless when you try to take a picture of it because no one will understand it like you do. It’s the in between stuff that fleshes out a story—gives it guts and transformation.” – Hannah Brencher.
