I am an aspiring writer and Filmmaker with a head full of ideas. I am currently a student at Ball State University. I am working on a degree in Fine Arts Majoring in Telecommunications with an emphasis on Film & Television production. I sat on my ass for 5 years after I left High School early, I then realized I needed to be in college for a better life while I was living in Gainesville, Florida. Now things are moving along and I'm catching back up. I have been into Filmmaking since I was a kid. I always watched films, analyzing them for every aspect, camera angles, lighting, editing and all the little things. I can usually find the good qualities in most films considered to be bad by the general public. I like a lot of films that never made it big, or even didn't catch on right away. On the other hand, I am able to pick apart and disect most films considered great that I simply just don't agree with. Cinema should never be judged on the amount of money made, but rather the quality and idea conveyed. Some of the greatest films are based around the broadest or simplest of subjects. Now I am finally trying to take the initiative and take matters into my own hands as far as what I want to see being made. Like Frank Miller once said, "Most of what is out there is crap." All I need is my camera and some backing and I will be able to make my dreams a reality and get out of the 12-9 government work forever. I am inspired by people who have the motivation to get things they want done in life, people who have stories about making the most of themselves. I enjoy almost every type of music and film genre for the most part, it really just depends on the message being sent, or just the respect I have for all the hard work that went into it. In my field, music is vital and I can't label myself to one kind, it helps drive the film. < less
