 ESSAY 

I have always enjoyed the detail behind films, and inside them. good stories that bring you to emotion; happiness, fear, horror, love, sacrifice, compassion, anger. films are truly one of the best mediums.

for someone who can’t readily read books as easily, I watch movies. I have a keen mind to pick out detail. make philosophical and theological connections between things that people just consume every day.

A documentary filmmaker

Documentaries “as is” I would love to do cult documentaries, and spiritual happenings feature films.

some of the goals that I have planned to get eventually to this career is a:

YouTube channel an overview of documentaries, breaking down storytelling, nerdy cinematography, vlog, more… refine a niche.

Grant writing, to write for a grant you don’t just need to, tailor your résumé to the values of them. Vimeo is offering short film grants that gives a camera loans education in script, writing, editing, film, festival strategy, film financing, and distribution.

online classes, such as Skillshare gives me a chance to focus on the the Internet of distraction to refine skills, such as storytelling writing cinematography…

finally, this concludes my presentation on film production assistant.
