Middle school was the first time I ever touched a video camera, or at least got to use one. Since then I’ve grown exponentially as a person and a film maker. Now a senior at Franklin High School in Elk Grove, California, I am trying to learn as much as I can before I leave for college. Mainly I believe that I grow from hands on experience. Its seems every time I complete a new film, a new concept or idea is revealed to me. Not to mention the fact that I am quite easily inspired. I draw on the people and things around me for ideas: being a soccer player and a runner, my family, my friends, music and other movies and directors. I hope to one day have the skill to move on to bigger things and hopefully my film making talents will carry me to where I want to go.
