I grew up in California, raised by an Irish dad and an English mom, so pretty interesting. Even as a kid my mind seemed to always see things as a film, could be a bad thing. I would cut out the boring uninteresting parts of my life that doesnt help move my story along, So, naturally, I was a mess in high school, but who wasnt. I didnt get too far in my dreams of becoming a biological oceanographer; it doesnt help when Im busy daydreaming. One of my elective classes I took happened to be a film class; I was never so attentive in my life. Now I got into a film school and I am living my dream of paying attention wait living my dream of film making, close enough.
