The First Time explores the way we perceive a first experience. These milestones, whether they are viewed positively or painfully have a profound effect on each individual in ways they may not realize. Fascinated by this concept, Daisy Lora, a Business of Art & Design junior, assisted by a group of Ringling Students, in various areas of study, filmed interviews of 15 students recalling their “firsts.”
Students were not briefed on the questions and the experiences they would describe for these interviews. The results are raw and honest with moments of delightful humor as well as gut-wrenching pain. Capturing the individuals’ expressions and mannerisms, these interviews reveal more than words alone could.
