This capstone project is a story about a trip I took to visit a boyfriend in Pittsburgh that began as an essay, and ended as a film. Included in the project are both the essay, and the film and written script. While the essay reads as more of a story, the film works to connect the idea of time and uses the train as a vehicle for it, while explaining how we hold onto it in different ways. By visiting this person, the main character is holding onto the past, as is a mysterious woman she meets on the train, and by doing this she is being invasive, as are large developments in the city, as are invasive vines that take over other plants.
