  • After years of "This is" videos, we finally have one from the place I used to call home. It may be six years late but, here we go.

    2.47 is an endlessly beautiful frame!!! (along with pretty much all of the frames in this video tbh). My best friend is about to move out to Nanjing from England and so this video is perfectly timed and will hopefully be both calming, and cause for excitement. IT'S JUST SO BLOOMIN' LOVELY, ERIKA.

      Admit it: you've said, "Why yes, I'm Sophie Turner" at least a few times.

    You've done justice, I think everyone who used to live in Nanjing feels exactly as how you've explained it. I know in my last year I tried to film a different area of the city not knowing if it has worth to an outside audience. With your video, a flood of awesome good memories are coming back.

    this is absolutely beautiful. nanjing is my hometown, and seeing all the familiar sights, and hearing your experience and feelings that mirror my own almost exactly-it's amazingly nostalgic and poignant and sentimental, thank you for this.

    These reflections are always so endlessly real and it's such a joy to be given these insights into your life. This is also beautifully shot and graded. Seriously well done.

    I adore your videos. Always. And I couldn't tell you if you captured Nanjing accurately as I've never been there, but I can say that you captured the feeling of nostalgia, and love for an old home.

    Love the self-reflection here. It's honest. Real. Earned our subscribe. WE're not the film makers you are, but do our own brand of experiential videos while traveling too!

    Lovely insight into how viewing home and place changes after moving. I'm gradually having a similar transition with my childhood home as I think of it as 'home' less and less. Thank you.

    I just think the way you shoot this is so sentimental I could feel your every subtle emotion. I don't know why but this drives me to tears..

    Your video strikes straight into my heart. Things changes.
    When I am in Nanjing again, I feel like a stranger and coming home at the same time. So bizarre, but so fulfilling.

    I'm going to Nanjing in October (first visit to China ever!) so I've been scouring the web for info and videos. What a beautiful view of the city you've captured! I only have 10 days to soak it all in while I'm there, but this video has gotten me very excited to go! Thanks for FINALLY getting around to it lol

    Haha...congrats to you for your selection. After checking your video on nanjing. I also made one just before leaving and then my buddy asked me to submit it. Mine only made to to the shortlist. I love your idea and how you executed your emotions about your old city. Congrats again and hope to see your work more...😜😜😜🙏

    Erika I *love* your perspective on what home means really and what we like to show when we show our homes. The nuance of our experiences over time with the parts we gloss over and parts we give the limelight and romanticise. Thank you for sharing :)
