The person behind the bird
I'm a filmmaker, illustrator, and writer based in Los Angeles, and faeblette is everything I've been trying to make my whole life. I just didn't have a name for it until now.
I spent years waiting to be chosen. Auditioning. Submitting. Hoping someone with power would look at what I was making and say yes, you belong here. And somewhere along the way, I realized my sense of self was crumbling away as I tried to fit into a mold someone else made. So I stopped.
Faeblette is what I built instead.
My work is rooted in something I keep coming back to: the idea that the world has everything upside down. That real power bows down. That the smallest moments are the ones that change us. That the overlooked thing is usually the most important thing in the room.
I find these ideas everywhere: in parables, in poetry, in the teachings of Jesus, in the quiet of an ordinary Tuesday. They don't announce themselves. They just show up, if you're paying attention.
The ones who linger, who notice, who feel too much, who move quietly through a loud world, they are not behind. They are exactly where they need to be.
My work has a point of view. And that point of view is this: the ones who linger, who notice, who feel too much, who move quietly through a loud world, they are not behind. They are exactly where they need to be.
I believe the world is overstimulated and under-nourished. Surrounded by content and starving for meaning. Faeblette is my answer to that.
Films that linger. Illustration that lives on your wall and works on you quietly. Goods that keep you company. And these letters- field notes- from inside the process of building something real.
I believe faeblette has immense potential, but it needs an army. If this resonates with you, stick around and follow along. Your support means the world to this dream I've been given.
May it grow like a wildflower... through all the cracks in the sidewalks, reminding the world that beautiful things can come from unexpected places.
