Summary

Pursuing a career in film has been my one and only dream since I was a little girl. I have never felt the euphoric feeling I get whenever I am working on a film project. I have always been a creative person. I can make anything I want! There is so much range that I want to play with. Whenever I have free time, I am writing. I want my life to be film 24/7. When you can’t think about anything, but that one thing-that is your passion. I am a hard-working individual with a positive attitude. I love every part of making a film idea come to life. The writing, the lighting, camera work, acting, voice overs, editing, audio/sound. It takes so much, but it is so worth it. Seeing your creative idea on a big screen and seeing all of your hard work in its final, finished edit is breathtaking. I cannot wait to become the astonishing filmmaker I am going to be. The astonishing filmmaker I am DESTINED to be.
