There is a particular reason why I decided to enroll in the film connection. Ever since I was 13 I had a keen interest in editing and film production. I first took an interest in filming and editing after seeing YouTube vloggers put together interesting content visually. So that was my first introduction into video editing by trying to record and edit my own videos to try and make it look professional like there’s. I started downloading programs that I could practice with until eventually I got my first MacBook air and started learning iMovie. Once I started learning iMovie I started getting really interested in the possibilities of editing with the effects and transitions. I saw a whole new side to storytelling with video which led me into the realm of final cut. So I started experimenting to try to be as creative as I could with any sort of video I could capture but realized I could only teach myself so much. This led me to researching film schools which eventually led me to the film connection. Now as a student of the program I'm eager to learn every aspect of behind the scenes filming and post production process. I'm captivated by the process of taking a project from an idea and seeing it come into a full length film through to the end of the editing process. I'm not interested in the story writing or directing side of filmmaking, but rather taking an Interest in putting  the captured media together to tell the story. I truly hope to get a well-rounded education that covers every aspect of that process from camera work to lighting to video editing and sound mixing. And any other education that I may not be aware of is necessary in this field.

My long-term goal is to eventually open my own film production company where I can offer every aspect of film making to clients. I know it's a process to eventually get to my goal and will have to work for a production company to start, I understand this is the road of attaining experience but I'm eager to learn and to make as many contacts and relationships as possible in this industry. I truly believe the film connection can open those initial doors for me.
