Brief Synopsis: “Back Home” presents the life of Patrick Doval through the lens of an old mutoscope, offering a fragmented view of the struggles of pursuing a music career. The video follows Doval as he portrays himself—a musician searching for success while facing isolation, pressure, and moments of deep self-reflection.

The writing here has a light, personal quality that makes it easy to read in short sessions. Topics drift between development thoughts and the realities of working from home, and essays from a feline-supervised desk capture that blend nicely. Good for a quiet break.
