This film didn't go the way I wanted it to go but this was our Semester 1 film project and I am actually kind of proud of it because it allowed me to bring My ideas and characters to life and to properly introduce a fictional gang of mine, The Renegades.

Our first film to work with Dialogue for our POV exercise. I am honestly not proud of this film that I have created but It was an experience to learn from.

Filmed my first Montage film in my First Semester of my MFA Program and it was the best project so far in that whole Semester in my opinion.

I directed my first successful horror silent film for my continuity project. Some mistakes here and there in the edit but I am learning.

Directed my very first pacing exercise project on The Universal Studios backlot. This to me was one of my greatest achievements in the First Semester.

I had to direct my very first one-shot film for The Mise En Scene project at The Universal Studios Backlot.

I had to read and learn the script for the commercial and Direct the Actors and Extras on getting the choreography right.
