I've been making films since I owned a flip camera at eight years old. Storytelling with a camera has always been my favorite way of experiencing the world around me and expressing myself. I'm drawn to this program because I've reached a point where passion alone isn't enough. I need guidance from experienced mentors who can help me refine my craft and understand the industry. A year of structured mentorship and opportunities would give me the tools and connections to transform my childhood dream into a sustainable creative career, while learning alongside others who share this same drive.
