Short Films

Tens of films between age 8 and 13 — comedies with schoolmates, documents that played in front of the whole school, and narrative shorts with cousins as the cast, premiered at home. I studied storytelling, camera, editing, and grading from YouTube, composed the music, and burned the DVDs myself. I bought a DSLR with money from summer forestry work and built my own camera rig — creativity instead of equipment. At 13 I turned toward engineering, but the drive to understand every layer never left.
