Elizabeth's Story

My passion is Film.

I discovered my passion for film when I was about 9 years old. It all began when I was at Walmart with my parents and a lady came up to my mom and I and told us that I looked like a new possible star in a Disney Channel or Nickelodeon show. She talked about a casting that was going to be in San Francisco for the next following week. This lady had just told me I looked like a new possible TV star, as a kid those were the words any kids wants to hear so I begged my mom to take me to the casting. My mom told me she wasn’t going to take me to any casting until I had my degree from High School & College. At that moment I didn’t understand why she was being so strict about it but I grew up to realize that she was right. As time passed I began to realize that I did want to be part of a show, but not as an actress. This was really confusing to me especially as a little kid I didn’t know what other jobs/careers were out for me besides being an actress to be part of a show. Years later I began to search through the internet how a show is created. I seen many options like camera operator, screenwriter, director, producer etc. At that moment I remember I just looked at my computer screen saying, “Yes this is it!”

Attending Film Acting Bay Area will help me explore my passion by actually giving me the feel of the filming career. It will be a new experience where I can actually learn how a camera is operated because I was never taught anything about filming. This program will definitely leave an impact on my life to assure if I want to 100% pursue this career once graduated from High School. This program will also be very important for me to gain many skills on what it's like to create a film by going into depth with the steps that one has to go through to accomplish a film.
