Background

Ever since I was a little girl I was always fascinated with the “Arts” world. I would love to draw or do acting or play an instrument, in any way to express my creative mind. Mostly I was always fond of how movies were made. Whenever there was a great movie that I watched I would love to see how it was made. I would try to find any Behind The Scenes video of that film and watch it. I would watch everything from the lighting, the actors, and the editing. I loved it all! I would always tell my family “Did you know..?” questions all the time about the movie. That is where I found my passion for the film magic happening.

It wasn’t until I got into high school that I realized that filmmaking is an actual job you can have. (Also it was neat that the school I was attending also had Audio Video Production classes I took.) With that knowledge I decided to pursue becoming a film editor. I loved taking the class, I got to know so many more amazing things about the filming production that I didn’t know about when I would watch the Behind The Scenes of movies. My passion for it grew more into desire as I continued taking the class. I got to know about not just the filming portion of movies but also the props, script writing, actors, the camera angles, camera settings and SO much additional information to where I felt overwhelmed with knowledge of the movie making magic. In class I wanted to partake in everything I could. One day I was a script writer for a short film. Another I was an actor for someone else's short story. Then I would be an editor for the short film for the school. Although I may have not been great with all things film related, I was good at a select portion of it. But I did not let that stop my hunger for movie knowledge any less.
