An Introduction
It all begins with an idea.
For my first blog post, I figured I’d go into a little more detail about myself, both personally and professionally.
This blog will mostly be dedicated to project updates, film viewings and reading habits, travel adventures, and general life updates.
I’ve always had an interest in learning foreign languages and have recently gotten back into learning French. I’ve spent most of high school and college learning the language but fell out of love around the beginning of the pandemic. This past month, I’ve picked it back up and hope to regain my proficiency. Souhaite-moi bonne chance!
In addition, I’ve also started learning Japanese. My interest in Japanese culture laid its roots when I first discovered the filmmakers Akira Kurosawa and Yasajuro Ozu. These masters of Japanese cinema, as well as my proclivity for martial arts such as Karate and Judo, sparked my interest in Japan. I was also interested in challenging myself to learn a language not based on Latin script (i.e. Germanic, Romance, and West Slavic languages). 学びに乾杯!
I am currently in post-production on my first narrative short titled “Night Rain”. It is about a young girl who struggles to recognize the death of her mother on her birthday. My goal is to have it finished and ready to send out to festivals by the New Year. More information coming soon!
