"I’m Shailee. My main focus of the year was analyzing and researching Bollywood movies and the evolution of the Bollywood industry. Indian movies have been such an integral part of my life and I’ve adored the characters, the melodramatic plots, and the grandeur of the films. My first semester focused more on researching Bollywood and trying to understand more about the thought process behind the industry. My second semester, I focused more on scriptwriting and even created a scrolling script video with voiceovers and imagery."
