Pieces of Time (2024)

Have you ever thought about the items you’ve collected growing up? Do you often reminisce about the past?

Pieces of Time is a documentary that explores these questions. In this documentary, my film partner, Claire Protano, and I interview people on our campus and travel to Brimfield, Massachusetts, home to the largest antique trading show in the country to see how they connected to the unique items they’ve held onto from the past.

8 min. Poetic Documentary
Director/Editor/Producer: Claire Protano and Ryan Rivera
