My Artist Statement

I have been involved in the world of media for a couple of years now, though I am not exactly sure what my motives or goals are quite yet. In high school I learned how to use Photoshop and Indesign, along with other image editing programs. I was an intern for the producer of VH1's "Best Week Ever", where I learned how to use professional film equipment, learned interview and shooting techniques, worked with Final Cut Pro, and gained hands on experience as a film maker.

This year I started an internship at The Film Society of Lincoln Center, where my job is to promote upcoming movies and shows at LC. I've been working as a web designer since last July, which I really love doing. I've gained experience in many different fields of media, but I am not interested (nor great at) any particular field. I'd like to further my involvement in various forms of media and hopefully find something I'm really passionate about.

I love watching movies, I take a decent amount of pictures, and I find it enjoyable to mess around with any pictures I take. Basically I'm just a normal media user - I use my laptop, my iphone, my cameras, etc. I don't know if film or another field of media is where I want to end up, and that's why I'm taking this course. I'm not sure if theres any message I want to send the world right now, but when I have one, I'll get it out one way or another.
