I will never forget my first camera. The camera was $250 and it was purchased at an expo in Miami. My mother bought it for me and I fell in love. The gray palette of the camera would make aliens jealous. The quality of the video, at the time, was jaw dropping to me. I thought the editing suite that came with it was top of the line. I couldn’t believe I had this piece of technology in my hands; I felt in control of the world, as if the camera I was given was the key to the world that only Presidents had. I got home and I put in batteries and took it for a test drive, recording the mundane and vacuous things like a television set, my grandmother cooking, and my own hand. The camera took pictures too. The bright flash from the light could blind Helios. I remember, how annoying I was on that first day, taking pictures, making my mother and grandparents see spots. I went to bed that night with an idea in my head. The very next morning, which was a Sunday, I put my thoughts together, picked up my camera, and shot my first short film, Breakfast. I brought together my footage into the computer like a painter bringing his paint to the canvas. The editing suite is my canvas and my paint is my footage. I thought I was a genius; I spliced my footage digitally and showcased my film to my mother about two hours later. I felt accomplished; “this is how Mother Theresa must feel”, I thought. I hit nirvana. Though I have grown up, my passion is still there, but it’s a bit more controlled like Tony Stark’s alcoholism. I found a way to try to express my feeling for film and here it is. Here is where you can find news, trailers, and my opinions about the latest news and information. I aim to bring you the news as I see it, discussions for anybody to express their opinions, reviews as well as links to my podcast, Come On Our Movies. Enjoy.
