Palette & Purpose Scholarship
WinnerI love art and am very self driven off of this love because it has shaped me into the person I am today. I I want to become a very well respected film director and producer. I love film and recording what is in front of me because it kind of gives me an excuse to be a fly on the wall. I've always been pretty introverted my whole life and have always be an observer. When I'm holding a camera and capturing the world in front of me I feel in my element and it comes so natural that I get lost in it. I love the editing process and putting those final touches that finalize my vision, it brings everything together.
My inspiration for my work comes from a wide range of sources, including my favorite artists and their music, their unique fashion sense, and any eye-catching fashion I see in my daily life. A lot of my thoughts come from a combination of feelings and visuals. I like to immerse myself in various forms of art and look into the ways in which they influence and relate to one another. My greatest motivation is the desire to establish myself as an established name in the creative industry. I want to make a variety of work like short films, music videos, commercials and clothing line campaigns.
I strive to have a significant influence in the fields of music production, design, and filmmaking, which I am extremely passionate about. I can express myself in different ways and create connections through creativity and storytelling in each of these fields. I prefer to read nonfiction books about my hobbies, like music and film, when I'm trying to learn new things. Andrew Huang's Make Your Own Rules is among my favorite books. Andrew describes in this book how he fell in love with music and the arts at a young age. He was open about his difficulties, emphasizing the importance of choosing your own path over giving in to outside influences. His narrative strikes a deep chord with me, and I frequently refer back to his teachings in my own creative work. It showed me methods of staying on track and focused. Prioritizing my goals and dreams is my biggest priority. I believe I can get there with the right education and spaces to be able to exercise my visions and ideas. Another book would probably Diary of a Wimpy Kid By Jeff Kinney. I loved the series as a kid and feel in love with the world of it. In the books Greg Heffley is very self driven. He doesn't stop until his goal is met and put his self first. I like these books because as an audience we see Greg's world through his eyes. This inspires me to become someone who produces work that audiences can get lost in.
I have the chance to move closer to my goals as a result to this scholarship. It will make it easier for me to get the training I require to better my abilities and develop as an artist. My ultimate ambition is to become an exceptional filmmaker who tells good stories and deliver messages with impact that audiences can relate to. I'm committed to making my dreams come true with perseverance, hard work, and the help of chances like this one. I want people to see my work and immediately know I made it. This scholarship will help in me getting into the right doors and rooms so I will be able to get the beginning of my journey started.
