Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Take whatever TV and Film production classes you can, during and after school, and be sure to learn all aspects, from script writing to the final cut. Pay attention to TV shows and movies, dissect each shot, and figure out how they're created. Watch Behind-The-Scenes featurettes and most of all, start creating yourself. You can read up and study all you want, but its the act of doing that will give you the tacit knowledge and experience that is necessary to do what I do.

From Parents:
"My Dad once suggested majoring in Business because then "I could do anything" but beyond that, I've been encouraged to do what makes me happy every step of the way. I'm very fortunate in that regard."
