Motivation has been something I have struggled with through high school and beginning of college. Lack of motivation doesn't necessarily mean you're being lazy, but that your energy can't be fully engaged in whatever you need to do. Sometimes we get sidetracked, tired, hungry, or disconnected from your to-do list. As a player of all … Continue reading How to Get Motivated as a Student in the New Year
If 2018 was the year of my life being flipped upside down, then 2019 was the year of recovering and rebuilding the broken foundations of the year before. Last year started off fairly strong, I made a lot of friends, attended numerous film festivals, started a job at my college's newspaper, and hit my first … Continue reading You Don’t Need a Film Degree to be a Filmmaker and other things I have learned in 2019
I sit here at my desk on my first day of sophomore year in college. Reading my syllabi (syllabuses??) and planning my social media spread sheet for my uni's newspaper. Calculating my free time and realizing I have plenty, I'm craving something new. Every so often I get this desire, this gut feeling to change. … Continue reading New Endeavors & The Road Ahead
As I sit in bed recovering from my wisdom teeth removal, many thoughts enter my brain. My favorite ones so far have been supernatural. Morbidity aside, I think ghosts are extremely fascinating. I find them to be the root of my stories, whether it is the haunting memory of someone or literally a reanimated corpse … Continue reading Mischievous Ghosts & Nostalgia
The first full year of college is nearly complete. Every professor that forgot to teach something is piling assignments on assignments... lucky me. Falling a tad bit behind, I zone out and wonder what this year made of me. Well for starters I really don't like college, or I haven't found the thing that makes … Continue reading Freshmen Year in College |The Power of Napping
The hottest 2nd year film festival in the coldest place in California. I spent 5 days in the snowy resort town of Mammoth Lakes to attend the Mammoth Film Festival. Creativity, uniqueness, originality (or however you want to put it) is so valuable. New stories are not only desired to be told, but desired to … Continue reading Mammoth Film Festival | My Home Away From Home
Finishing and not necessarily failing the year was a reach in my capability. 2018 was a year that I didn’t think that I would survive. Drawing away from my positive optimism of what that year could have brought me, which it essentially did, just didn’t hit the spot it should have. I’m Natalie and I’m … Continue reading Finishing 2018
It has been well over one month since my last post declaring 2018 as the year for creating and I have been doing just that. I just started a month long project, which is my first independent animation I have ever done. Independent more or less, meaning that it wasn't for a class and I … Continue reading March Update| A New Project
It was around this time last year (2017) that I realized I didn't like how my future was going to look. I was worried that it would shut out my creativity and turn myself into a 9 to 5 working-machine. Grim thoughts for a seventeen year old, but my life didn't have to be that … Continue reading A Year of Dedication, 2018
