What have you done to keep yourself entertained while staying at home?
What have you been up to lately?
Though I think I know the answer.
I work as an admin assistant at a construction company.
Its a family-owned business, very mellow.
Recently Ive been like, delving into the intensely creative sphere.
How old are you?Im 26.
My joke is always that Im way too old for TikTok.
I downloaded it because I have two younger siblings who are 15 and 17.
They were on it and I thought,might as well.
Safe to assume youre a big Wes Anderson fan?Absolutely.
Its such a striking thing to behold.
The first time you see one of his movies, its like youve never seen anything like it before.
He was definitely my first film love.
Which one of his films did you see first?It wasThe Royal Tenenbaums.
I had seen stills leading up to it and then I watched it in an English class.Oh my gosh.
I was really not anticipating the reaction.
I was excited when it hit like 33,000 views on TikTok.This is it.
This is the best day of my life.
I had already done a littleSex and the Cityquarantine spoof.
Maybe that will come later.
What was the first piece of the story?
The portrait of the parrot, Aretmis.
He was in another TikTok that I made a month ago.
Thats one of my favorites.
I thought,Wouldnt it be really cute if anyone who liked that earlier TikTok saw this one.
Hiding little things I used in other TikToks in this one.
My own little cinematic universe.
I do have some questions about the items themselves.
You own gloves?Im such a sucker for little little trinkets and treasures.
I always have been.
Ive always been like a little collector.
Ill go into an antique store and just like wander through and almost be magnetically pulled towards something.
I cant explain why I want this thing.
And I have to have it.
I thought I was gonna just use it as like a fake prop.
And then I started typing and I was like, The ink!
I found it at an estate sale maybe four or five years ago.
Its been sitting in my closet for a really long time.
The little circle zipper.Im obsessed.
Im very impressed you didnt have to leave your apartment for anything.
How did you shoot the video?I have a little tripod thats got a phone attachment.
Anytime Im shooting myself, I have to use the front-facing camera.
Very important if youre doing Anderson.
I thought,What would someone even say in a Wes Anderson to their mother during quarantine.
What am I even saying to my own mother when she checks in with me during quarantine.I am.
I was able to double-check everything was along the same lighting.
Do you have plans for a sequel?I have an idea thats percolating in my mind.
Ive had a couple of people say I should do other directors style.
So much of his stuff is so textured and very visceral.
What do you think Wes would think of your TikTok?I have no idea.
I hope he would know it was done with the most immense amount of love.
