Journey
The Creative Journey
I've always been a very creative person. Whether it was playing with my siblings in the backyard, or writing novels up in my room, I always loved creating stories, characters, and worlds. I first started writing when I was 11 (2010). I got this big idea in my head that I was going to write a book series and publish it. Of course I didn't know a lot about grammar then, so as I got older I would always restart the book and try and make it better. Something else that I really enjoyed was reading books. So in the Summer of 2014, as I was flipping through a CBD magazine, I came across a medieval/fantasy book series written by Chuck Black called The Kingdom Series. I always loved medieval/fantasy books, so I ordered and read them. I loved them so much that I bought Chuck Black's other series called The Knights of Arrethtrae. It was late 2014 that I found out that Chuck Black had been having a video contest every year for the past 3 years. The contestants would take a part from one of his books and make a film to it. At that point, I had filmed some backyard films with my siblings, but I hadn't considered filmmaking as something I wanted to pursue. Well, in January of 2015 our family got invited to be in a music video. On set for that music video I watched the Director working with the cinematographer, the actors, and the rest of the crew and I saw myself in him. So, when I went home, I told myself that I was going to make films and no one was going to stop me. My 3 siblings joined me, and we made a film for Chuck Black's 2015 video contest. We won honorable mention, and since then we have made 7 short films and released them to youtube. My goal through filmmaking is to tell stories that will change the world and impact people's lives.
I've always been the Director when our family made films, and I really enjoy it. God has really gifted me in that area, but so far I've only worked with my siblings as crew so I've always had to fill in a lot of other positions. So, now that I'm trying to work with bigger crews, I'm trying to learn to communicate and keep everyone on the same page, which has proved a challenge so far.
I've also had the privilege of being on set for a feature film.
Also, just as a side note, I'm still working on the same book series that I started when I was 11, and I still plan to publish it someday.

The Faith Journey
Ever since I was a child I believed in the existence of God. When I looked up at the stars at night there was no denying that he was real. Growing up, my parents taught me to read the bible and it became my guidebook. I accepted Yeshua and was baptized when I was 10. Our family always rested on the Sabbath (Saturday), and we always celebrated the biblical feasts since I was 4. Of course, many believe that Yeshua came to do away with the law, but I don't believe that for many reasons. One of those being that Yeshua himself said that he did not come to do away with it.
Our family stopped celebrating the pagan holidays (christmas, easter, valentine's day) when I was 4. The reason for that is because they are pagan, which doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. :)
Life can be hard, and I've made a lot of bad mistakes, but I know that Christ lives in me, and I try and follow him with all my heart. I also know that my past mistakes don't define who I am.
