“I have always been interested in the creative aspect of filmmaking and the process behind making digital content, especially narrative storytelling. Over the past two years, I have worked on multiple film projects, as well as a directed study project, that have helped me to develop my skills in many aspects of filmmaking. I also recently completed a short film I co-wrote and directed for a senior projet, and [gained] experience writing for television as part of a screenwriting class.”
