Independent Student Filmmaker
I didn't think I could have a career in film. My sisters are why I started down this path; in elementary school, their slideshows and AMV's were the coolest things ever. I'd spend hours each day making my own, and joined my schools' TV studios. It felt like the one thing I was good at, but also with the least potential. But my parents thought differently and invested in my passion. My senior year, I made a top 5 TSA international video, and I knew I couldn't do anything else in life but film.
