2 months of on and off filming, 2 drone crashes and about 20 hours of editing went into the making of this new film about my home country of Lithuania . I love watching movies, and one day I hope to direct one, so this video reflects a bit of that dramatic cinema style mixed with my own. Not your typical travel video, I know. It was an amazing summer in Lithuania and I hope to return soon.

I was 12 when I moved to the United States from Lithuania. I have spent the last 17 years of my life here. It was a struggle to adapt to the culture, to find new friends, and to be able to call this place home. However, being quite young I was able to adapt my new environment pretty quickly. Eventually, without having revisited my homeland for well over a decade, I didn't think too much about it. However, like an anxious tick, something was making me uneasy. The more years went by, I felt like something was missing in my life. I dreamed of moving somewhere with beautiful nature, castles, but with modern city life. It seemed like an impossible combination until the time came to visit my home country. Subconsciously, I built up my dream place to be my home country. It was everything I could hope for. Over the next several years, I visited Lithuania and discovered and rediscovered all the things my soul needed. This film is dedicated to all those who may be somewhere abroad and miss their home. The footage is from my last trip to Lithuania in the summer of 2019 and inspired by that anxious tick to be close to home and to live life to the fullest before our time's up.
