Hi, I’m Xanthe.
I make videos as a way of paying attention.
For the past 12+ years, I’ve been documenting real life. Not the polished highlights, but the in-between moments. The quiet mornings. The bike rides that clear my head. The small rituals that anchor a season. The feeling of time passing, gently and sometimes quickly.
I believe videos can be time capsules.
Not content for algorithms, but keepsakes for ourselves.
A way to say: this mattered. I was here. This is how it felt.
This Substack is where those ideas live in written form.
The monthly newsletter is a slow, thoughtful round-up of what I’m noticing, making, and learning.
Each month, I share:
– Personal reflections on creativity, memory, and everyday life
– Notes and context around my vlogs and current video projects
– Gentle prompts and ideas for documenting your own days
– Things I’m watching, reading, listening to, or finding inspiring lately
Encouraging you to create with intention. Making videos that feel meaningful now, and even more meaningful later.
If you’re drawn to filming ordinary life, creating for yourself rather than an audience, and finding a quieter rhythm with your creativity, you’ll feel at home here.
I’m really glad you’re here
Xanthe xx
