I Used to Be a Filmmaker

About This Movie

I Used to Be a Filmmaker is this intimate documentary that really pulls you in. The director, who remains unnamed, captures the raw essence of fatherhood over those first eighteen months with his daughter. It’s not just a chronological account; you feel the emotional shifts as the baby grows from a fragile newborn to a curious toddler. The pacing feels natural—like life itself, it ebbs and flows. The atmosphere is candid, almost voyeuristic at times. There’s no flashy editing or elaborate effects, just a camera observing the mundane yet beautiful moments that define early parenthood. It's a slice-of-life that resonates on a personal level, showing the delicate bond formed through simple experiences.
