As a kid, I fooled around incessantly with my dad&#8217;s camcorder. Eventually, he got fed up with me &#8220;borrowing&#8221; his camera and graced me with a Digital Blue Movie Creator (shoutout 2001) for Christmas. An insatiable appetite for filmmaking was permanently seared into to the walls of my cranium from there on out. As a child and as a teenager, however, I wasn&#8217;t educated in an environment that energized or encouraged creativity. It took a lot of soul-searching to break free from a completely different professional trajectory, and to excavate my passion for filmmaking. After graduating from college, I was all geared up to apply to law school. I was woefully unqualified, but more importantly &#8211; I realized that I&#8217;d be a fool not to muster up the courage to pivot into film. As I grew older, I realized that films were critical in helping me reconcile my own personal litany of idiosyncrasies and imperfections. My mission onward was to make films that do the same for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What made you choose Dodge?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dodge is well-known for allowing students to get their hands dirty right away. That&#8217;s what magnetized me to the program. I yearned for a high volume of experience on set, and that&#8217;s exactly what I got. There&#8217;s no other school that throws you right into the mix as immediately as Dodge does. I had also been on the production assistant circuit up in LA for 3+ years, so a move to Orange was much-needed departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s a project you\u2019re most proud of that you worked on at Dodge?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Dodge project that I&#8217;m most proud of is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/425673831\/1cc48cc2fe\"> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Into the Honeycomb<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Writing and directing it was the first time I was able to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> apply all that I had learned (mostly through trial and error). It also gave me the opportunity to offload and explore my own traumas &#8211; in a way that was deeply nourishing, therapeutic, and cathartic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you could give any one piece of advice to your freshman self, what would it be?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Open yourself to criticism. You&#8217;re not here to be celebrated for where you&#8217;re already at. The only way to improve is to allow yourself to see what you&#8217;ve been doing incorrectly. It&#8217;s not always fun, but it&#8217;s how you get better. I would also say to all those who are averse to self-promotion, and who cringe at the idea of prematurely and shamelessly identifying yourself as a director\/cinematographer\/writer\/producer\/editor\/sound designer\/production designer: You <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">are<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> exactly that already.
