I started filming this project back in 2019. At that point the building was merely a shell and the bridge was being constructed at an off-site facility. I just starting filming things that I knew would be useful someday down the road when we wanted to do a sizzle reel about this project. Then one day, I went to go meet with the artist who was doing an art installation in the building and was blown away by the work that they were creating. It was this intense blend of organic shapes, textile patterns, and the culture and tradition of her cultural mythology. I knew that that would become the focal point of the storytelling. She symbolized everything that this building was and that it intended to be. Over the weeks and months to follow we stayed in touch, and I continued to film the progress of the building and her art practice. In 2022, we finally were able to bring all the elements together into one singular piece.
Welcome Home, is a short-documentary that follows the construction of the International Arrivals Facility at SEA Airport, but more importantly it is about the limitless potential of international travel and the ways that it strengthens us as a community to be connected to the world.
