I Have to Do This

About This Movie

I Have to Do This is one of those raw, behind-the-scenes docs that pulls you into the chaos of creativity. Ethan Nestor, a content creator, really lays it all bare as he grapples with personal and artistic hurdles, all while he’s racing to put together his first North American tour. The pacing feels frenetic, mirroring his mounting pressure, and you can sense the weight of expectations on him. The film captures the highs and lows authentically, showcasing not just the struggle but also those fleeting moments of clarity and inspiration. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on the emotional journey rather than flashy visuals. It's the kind of introspective piece that resonates, especially if you've ever felt the push and pull of creating something worthwhile.
