I did an Independent Study on experimentalism in filmmaking because there's a different wonder and mystery to the making of films that excites me. I love artists like Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Stan Brakhage, and Jonas Mekas because of how they tell stories with a camera. Jonas Mekas especially makes me feel at peace when I watch his films. His writing is filled with nostalgia and memories that allow us to look into his life as a creator. Avante-Garde filmmaking introduced me to a brand new world. It showed me that I have a strong voice and I can present that in any shape or form. It made me think about everything critically while also allowing me to observe society. After this study, I created a film called "Home". I moved to Chicago a year ago and felt alone every day. Chicago never felt like home to me until I learned to appreciate what I have in the world. I have a camera, a pencil, paper, beautiful friends, and a crazy imagination.
