When I Grow Up

For the longest time all of my aspirations were those of outlandish dreams of a child. I had wanted to be a Pokemon master, a DJ in the mysterious french techno underground that my retired air force uncle told me about. I had wanted to be a business major at the college of Berkley, to sing dance and act with my background coming from NYU.

Now I'm older, and I feel like the goal I have now is just as unrealistic. I was frequently told by my grandmother that film is not a stable industry to go into, that government oriented work is much more dependable. The thing is that I have never felt the need to be behind a desk for the rest of my life. Though I would sit behind a desk working for GQ or DC Comics any day, there is something about Working on film that has always enamored me.

Even though the industry is mainly made for making money, it's true root is in entertaining people. Anyone can go into a movie with the worst mood and come out happy. Filmmakers create emotion and let people escape reality. And I want to be a part of a team that does that.
