Is filmmaking a hobby? – Uncsa Filmmaking Summer Intensive 2020

Or is a career in it?

“It depends on what your day job looks like at the time. The more I focus on it, the more I realize I’ve been getting in front of the camera. I was doing a lot of different things before I did the film too. You have to figure out what you want to do, and in all seriousness, there’s always something creative in me.”

I’ve got friends I’ve met through it now and I get to interact with them a lot. It does make me feel good though. That’s my favorite.”

What’s your favorite photography source?

“You need to tell me what’s important to you, but I think it depends on how passionate you are about different things. I was trying to find my passion, and what I liked about photography is that it allows for a lot of different kinds of stuff.
