Western Caribbean Here I Come!
Hello everyone. Just a little info about myself. I am a twenty-five year old film school graduate. For the past year year I’ve been working a typical 9-5 job since graudating college. To make matters worse, I was doing nothing associated with what I studied for in school. Even though I was semi working in the industry, I was basically a driver making deliveries day in and day out. Don’t get me wrong the people I worked with were awesome, but after doing five years of college, I didn’t expect to be driver, and after working a year with the company I was still making deliveries….something had to change.
After unsuccessfully trying to find production jobs in the industry, I turned to a totally different avenue. Remembering my father told me something last year about working on a cruise ship, I submitted my resume and demo reel to Carnival Cruise and to my surprise they wanted to hire me as an audio/visual technician. In a nutshell I will be working as a videographer and editor on ship, as well as taken care of everything audio and visually related on the ship.
With that said, this blog will be about my journey as a filmmaker. I will be heading out to Miami this 4th of July to start my new job. And if things go according to plan, I will be moving back to Los Angeles in a few years to continue my filmmaking career. But for now, I will set sail on the Carnival Valor and head towards the Western Caribbean.
