The thought of being a videographer has always been in my subconscious. Most of my friends are musically inclined plus we were always writing and producing music together. I initially wanted to be the person in front of the camera because of my personality and energy.

It wasn’t until my friend, Bryce Trent, and I made a song called “Wandering” that I realized my vision and abilities could be better suited behind the camera. I had so many ideas for the video I started typing a treatment, and I had no idea what a treatment was at this point. I didn’t have a camera at the time so we used my iPhone and a gimbal that another friend, Sumchai, let us borrow.

Directing, shooting, and editing that video brought more happiness to me than I could have ever imagined. Being able to create a vision with the help of a team sharing one common goal is one of the best feelings I have experienced. I decided to learn how to direct, shoot, and edit so I could have a better understanding of the filmmaking process. Everything from pre-production to post-production I wanted to get my hands on.

I hope to take the knowledge I am gaining and build a video production company from the ground up. My goal is to grow into a full-time filmmaker and truly have my passion become my job.
