“I wanted to give a sneak peek into the lives of many teenagers who live like this. I want people to watch this and sit with the discomfort we all feel. This whole process has been like peeling a pomegranate, messy and seeping into everything. Lucky for me, pomegranates are my favorite fruit. ” – Marley Manalo
“No matter how much it seems like I want advice, I think I really just want somebody to listen. This might sound unrealistic. If you ask someone for an opinion on your script, they might, and this is a little crazy, say what they actually think about it – instead of knighting you as an experimental genius. And, you can’t depend on that. At a certain point you have to trust that you are an experimental genius, not a 16 year old high schooler like these losers want you to think.” – Hildy Brooks
“Yet, there isn’t really a word to capture the phenomenon of sunlight dancing through leaves—the perfect impermanence of its movement. The ever-changing fractals of light, the movement of the beams and life merging into a brief, unique, and mesmerizing show. This show has been performed for millennia and will continue long after we are no longer here to witness it.” – Olive Rhodes
“Every time I wake up from a vivid dream, I try to hold on to every detail. But our short term memories can only hold so much weight until it has to let go. Strangely, there are some dreams my brain just latched onto the very first time I had them.” – Zoe Vernier
“These recipes are more than instructions; they are the way I know and love the people who have shaped me. That brings me to what you are reading now: my attempt to archive and honor these people, memories, and creations—not just as distant recollections, but as they are now, evidence of home that I can hold in my hands”. – Casey Mottola
“There’s always more to be done, but I’m proud of the process, and of what it took just to make those small cranes. I genuinely hope that everyone I spoke to sees whatever they wrote down come to fruition, even if it feels impossibly ambitious.” – Coral Gonzalez
“My final song is called Solar Gathering because it delves into the power of music itself—how it shapes me, how it can amplify my emotions, whether good or bad. Solar Gathering is an exploration that runs from the start to the unexpected ending, which references the people we meet the times we must treasure. To experience heaven alone is nothing special but joy with others makes it so much more memorable.” – Bodhi Dotson
