Interests:                                                                                                                                  
To pursue photography and discover new techniques.

      Develop color film, experiment with exotic films/ cameras/ papers/ tones, experiment with subject
      matter, and at the same time focus on my goals, style, and themes.

I watch and analyze films from both the visual and directing styles. 
     
I listen to the audio commentary, examine the mise en scene, research film histories,
      and try to learn the process.

I engage in other artistic mediums.
     
Painting, digital art, graphic design, filmmaking, editing, lighting, creative writing, and others.

To continue higher education with the aim to learn and develop.
