What’s Something I Wouldn’t Believe About You?

Thoraya Maronesy creates videos with strangers, and they are absolutely compelling. It’s amazing to me how easily strangers open up to her, and reminds me how deeply we are all storytellers. And most of all, want our own stories to be told.

This particular video, What’s something I wouldn’t believe about you?, is a mixture of funny and heartbreaking and just all sorts of emotions.

I love the act of finding old photographs at a flea market. And in picking up those old photos, I’m instantly transported into someone else’s life, from a different time.

These videos evoke that same intimacy. I’m immediately drawn into the person speaking, and I’m walking alongside them as they talk to the camera. So much good stuff on her channel to explore.
