For a while, I've been at a point where I couldn't find a large artist community. After the first semester and becoming adjusted to the college experience, I decided to search for one instead of having high hopes of coming across one.

With a film idea I've had since December 2016, I decided to finally begin the stages of developing and creating a film last week. I began putting my project into pre-production. I talked to my suit mates and friends, and posted online about my search to find artists and others interested in the artist community to be a part of a team full of artists.

I've heard back from a few people and thus, I began building a team to create a full film from scratch, starting with just this idea I had floating in my head. The current team and I sit every few days together and toss around ideas, creating a scene listing from the beginning of the film to the end of the film.

We're still in the beginning, with only about 15 minutes of scenes from what we could conclude in what our end result would look like. Being a part of a team though, has significantly boosted my morale and confidence. I feel motivated to not just work on this film, but I feel motivated through all of my classes and work, which is something that I haven't felt in what feels like years.

I feel that all of us support each other in our personal endeavors along with supporting each other throughout our process, even when we have conflicting ideas. This is the true experience that I've been looking for since I began melding myself into the film community. And though we're still in our beginning stages, I can already feel that this project will be a lot of fun, along with being a large learning experience.
