My interest in film started in the summer of 2019 when I started a film journal where I kept track of every single movie I watched, complete with a rating and in depth review.In November of 2019 my middle school social studies teacher sent me an application for a teen filmmaking lab offered through Milwaukee film, and it was the best decision I have ever made. The class gave me the skills and confidence to create and submit my films to festivals. Without that class I wouldn't be here writing my story right now, let alone even making films.
