Completing my first film project sparked an entire universe of characters, stories, and spiritual journeys that I wanted to bring to life on screen. Creating that first project alongside my mom stayed with me, and every project afterward became an opportunity to learn new skills that would help shape this vision into my capstone project during my second year at Mt. Hood Community College. Through developing my first screenplay, I expanded the story from a four-minute concept into an 8–10 minute short film. I look forward to sharing this project with audiences through film festivals and continuing to grow this world through future stories.
