The first time I realized I wanted to become a filmmaker was at 14. We had a cheap knockoff digital camera. Mind you this was in the year 2005. Digital cameras were not the best. I was raised in Long Island NY, so it wasn't uncommon to go visit New York City. This was the day I filmed my first video. 

Days after I began to learn the editing process on arguably the best editing software known to man. Windows Movie Maker is where I fell in love with editing. Years later, I continue to learn and expand my knowledge in filmmaking and enjoy every second of it.
