Since I was a little girl, all I wanted was to be in front of the camera. When my parents took out our videocamera to record home videos, I would do everything in my power to make sure that all eyes would immediately find me. My love for being the center of attention continued from childhood into my teen and adolescent years. Starring in my parents' home videos turned into starring in award-winning independent short-films that were shown in festivals around the country. I was 10 years old when I appeared in my first short. A while later, I starred in another. I don't remember there ever being a time when I did not want to perform in front of or for a large crowd of people.
While I loved every second of these ventures, they also called for a lot of hard work on my part, which led me to thinking about the other amount of work that goes into creating the film. That is why I want to explore the other side of the art. I want to take the passion that I have for being in front of the camera and use that energy to learn what goes on behind the scenes. To be a versatile artist, I think that you should know all of the different parts of your craft. Production is the next stop on my personal journey.
