When you first hear the topic "Journey to the Grave," what's the first thing that comes to mind? For me, it’s a closed casket buried 5 ft underneath the ground. The second thing that comes to my mind is a long and complex journey that one must take all by themselves. With that being said, my views on this project when we first started it were all over the place. I was scared at the beginning when we decided to center our whole project on a funeral home. This is mainly because death is something that just kind of happens naturally…and never really discussed because nobody “really” knows what happens afterwards.
After numerous amounts of research, spending time at the funeral home, and discussing death out loud, my views on this subject matter slowly began to change. Along with the direction of our documentary due to circumstances beyond any of our control.
I can honestly say that doing this project has definitely been and interesting journey. I got to see the behind the scenes of what goes on in an actually funeral home, as well as talk to a real live psychic! It was very eye opening for me to here everybody's opinions on our documentary's subject matter; especially Sammie's since she claims that she knows what goes on after one's life is over in this world. She even told me some things about myself that I did not tell her before meeting her for the first time. Sammie even went on to tell me about what my future has in store for me for the next 4 years. Whether she is right or wrong, I am extremely glad that I have a strong faith in God. As long as I have him on my side and believe in his word, I can get through and achieve anything :)
