Supporting the work of independent filmmakers
Gettin' by...
Profile Information
- City:
- Nashville, TN
- Filmmaker? Genres you work in:
- documentary, narrative, educational
- About Me:
- I am currently going to school at Middle Tennessee State University. I'm working on an Electronic Media Production degree. When I graduate I plan on moving to Los Angeles and work on getting my career started. If I could somehow afford it, I would love to go to UCLA film school, but we'll see how that works out.
I love to write movies and I would want to get into the major motion picture scene, however, I still have a strong passion for independent documentaries. I would love to be given the chance to travel around the world shooting all of the unknown.
I consider myself a better editor than videographer. I edit on Final Cut Pro 6 and I love it. I know many people who use Avid and are very happy with it, but I'm a full supporter of Final Cut.
- Current filmmaking concerns:
- I looking for someone to give me a chance to be an apprentice and learn the tricks of the trade.
- About my films:
- I am still a young and inexperienced filmmaker. Right now the only work that I have had a chance to do is the stuff that is part of my school curriculum. I have a few short films that I will be shooting this summer for a local film festival and hopefully I will get noticed for my talents.
I have many ideas for documentaries that I would like to, one day, produce. However, right now they are all far away from any kind of budget that I, or anyone I know, could afford.
- Books I'm reading:
- Right now I am reading a book that I happened to come across by chance and bought it randomly. "Guns, Germs, and Steel -- The Fate of Human Societies" is a book by Jared Diamond, a professor of geography at UCLA. It is a very interesting look at how civilizations came to be the way they are today.
- Films I love (or can't wait to see):
- There are so many, and for so many reasons.
- Television --the papers say its the golden age- you agree (or you don't!) because you watch.....
- I wish television could be saved. But I think that it is beyond saving. I think the only way to watch quality television, is if you can afford to pay for certain specialty channels like National Geographic, Sundance Channel, etc.
