1/3 FILMMAKER
“Making home videos with my grandparents’ camcorder and watching music video marathons were my favorite pastime activities growing up.”
As a film student at Columbia College Chicago, I struggled with getting into film because my interest in video making was video blogging, music videos, and TV Production class in High School. In turn, I embraced my love for short-form content and worked in the music video, dance, and documentary world. My current work is primarily centered around capturing the process of a performance, whether it be the developmental process or the finished product itself, along with documenting events and creating highlight reels.
