Minneapolis artist Nate Maydole filmed a word everyday for 366 days last year on the topic of “change.” Maydole, wanted to capture the small changes he endured everyday from his location to actual physical transformation while discovering life’s greater meaning. He captured all on film in the documentary Word of the Day, Chapter 1: Change.
Regarding what inspired him, Maydole explains, “There are so many reasons why I created this documentary that there really is not one good reason. First, I know you should cherish everyday and filming one word a day in its simplicity reminds me to do that. Second, change is inevitable even when you try your hardest to stay the same so I was inspired to talk about it. And I realized that 30 years from now this video will be more interesting.”
Maydole plans to choose a new topic every year and release similar films annually over the course of his life.
Said Maydole, “I was inspired to use my passion for film to chronicle my life, so that annually I can look back and be reminded of the last year, and in 30 years I will be able to see the true metamorphosis. It is a simple concept that I hope others will be inspired by, too.”
