I didn’t expect filmmaking to be a career choice for me or at least for me to be behind the camera. I had initially entered filmmaking because I wanted to act and perform. At that time, I didn’t know what options I had. I just didn’t think that I could ever sit behind the camera, simply because I didn’t think I was talented enough for that. In my first majoring year I got a different experience though. I was told to write a script. I have always had ideas, I used to write books at a young age, but I knew it wasn’t what I was passionate about. So, I wrote a script, my first script with no care in the world. I just wrote what I wanted but with that I found myself focusing on all sorts of details, I cared about everything and anything from the sound, the lighting, the colors, the perspective to the metaphors and progression of sequence throughout the script. This made me think that maybe I could do so much more than I initially thought. I have a vision and I’m too connected to everything I do, to an extent that it has become a liability at times. I can’t say that I did everything I wanted in university, especially artistically. I often felt restricted. Throughout my years in university, I was looking for a mentor. I didn’t really find one but I’m still open to learning, I think the moment I stop learning is the moment I stop being an artist. I have learned to be firmer because otherwise I can’t get my vision across. I love the sense of community that filmmaking provides, I rarely found it in university, but I know that once I look hard enough, I’ll be able to have that. I know that I want to direct and act. I have learned that other than learning from others I have to apply and work and make mistakes so I’m hoping to do more of that in the future.
