Producing my first short film was such an exciting moment for me. It made me test my skills as a producer and as a team leader. This small but mighty production consisted of a team of six crew members and four cast members; the majority of the cast and crew were my peers from university, so we had to cram all our filming into our 1 week of mid-semester break. The film was everything I expected. Despite the challenges of tight deadlines and horrible weather, it was such a rewarding moment, and it's so enjoyable being on set with a bunch of friends. It was an incredible journey that not only strengthened my problem-solving and leadership skills but also reinforced my passion for film production. 

What I loved most was collaborating with a group of talented creatives, both on the cast and crew. Working alongside them gave me valuable insights into other areas of media, and allowed me to appreciate all fields even more than I previously did.

This single experience created tunnel vision for my future; it's where I really tested my skills and found such enjoyment that I knew this would be one of my paths into a career. I am fully committed to pursuing a career in film production. The thrill of turning creative ideas into reality, managing a team, and watching a vision come to life on set is something I can’t wait to continue.
