The staggering beauty of failure in 2016

The staggering beauty of failure reveals the weight of our intentions.

Opting out of all public events, my intern and I chose to watch the election results in quiet on CNN with our own bottles of wine on my couch in Alexandria as I concluded my filmmaking work for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

We intended to celebrate. Exhausted after working 7-day weeks and 12-16 hour days, we were proud of the work we had done and the candidate whose platform we had supported.
