Summary

Ever sense I was ten years old I have had a fascination with film and the art of video production. I would make countless videos with my friends where I was a director, actor, and producer. As I grow older my fascination and passion only grows with this magnificent art. While I attended highschool me and my friends continued to grow in our video production skills. We eventually turned to freelance videography. We filmed for various schools and businesses to hone our ability. I specialized in creating adds and have always had a passion for the commercial side of videography. I believe it truly allows for creativity and videography skills. I am a skilled videographer and editor who enjoys all sides of the filming industry.
