My Entire Life’s Documentation
In the 7th grade was when I’d picked up my dad’s camera to create my first passion project on YouTube; seven years later, at age 19, I’m doing things I never thought possible with the years of creative drive and experiences I’ve pushed myself through in filmmaking.
This process of my life’s documentation began by using the little adventures & important moments I’d experience as practice to grow my filmmaking abilities. These videos that I’d made on YouTube caught onto an audience quite fast & led to both work and connections in the filmmaking world of Los Angeles, allowing freelance filmmaking & a “struggling artist” lifestyle to become my full-time reality in my post-high school graduate life.
