In the last few months, I've really started getting into touch with my hobbies and passions. Filmmaking is among the top of my list. While I haven't worked on any official projects (other than freelance editing for institutions) of my own for years, I still haven't lost that desire for filmmaking

I plan to begin brainstorming again because  I definitely need to brush up and improve upon my skills.

But for now, I leave you with my first ever "professional" project that I made during my high school junior summer at NYU TischSOA film program. It has a lot of shortcomings, but it has managed to encourage me to get back to the storyboard and begin another film.

It's titled Pour Danser and was filmed in various places in New York. While the bare bones (anorexia in a teen) of the story has been done many times before, the various elements incorporated are taken from various influences in my life. For one, both my mother and sister suffered from anorexia nervosa and both were dancers (my mother did ballet while my sister did hip-hop). The french dialogue was chosen because my roommate (and main actress) Bethsabee felt it would be easier to deliver her lines. While there are so many more little tid bits I could share, I don't want to bore you.

So on with the movie!
