10 Things I Hate About You
I am a passionate aspiring director and photographer, who loves experimenting and creating art that I can enjoy as well as my audience. The video clips showed in my portfolio are bits and pieces of a movie, "With Love, Alex", directed and produced by me. My artwork is a drama, horror, and thriller flick that takes place in the life of high school senior, who holds a grudge on her best friends and takes actions on them. The theme of the movie was inspired by the 90's coming-of-age comedy films, such as "Clueless", "10 Things I hate About You", "She's All That", "Never Been Kissed", etc. The horror aspect is shown in the body language, actions, and insecurities of the girl who goes by the name "Alex". To add more suspense and a horror vibe to
the film, tunes and sound effects were included to enhance the darkness and mystery. The rule of thirds was present on every take while shooting the movie, which improved the quality and made it easier to get clearer shots. The use of different angles was essential to make the film go on smoothly and without any unexpected pauses. The movie's set was put together with home supplies and low-cost items.
As a student of the San Francisco Art Institute, I want to fill my brain with knowledge, from the film industry to new techniques that can improve the outcome of a film. Getting out of comfort zone and be comfortable behind the camera, as well as trying new things in order to gain the necessary skills to be the best filmmaker I can be. Not forgetting that I want to meet wonderful people with my same interests, with whom I can create unique films inside and outside of campus, not to forget that networking is crucial in the industry. SFAI will provide me the tools and opportunities to open my horizons. Last but not least, have fun learning and experiencing new things. I want to be an honorable director in Panama such as Abner Benaim, directing four movies based on Panamanian culture and history. Cultural festivals in Panama such as "MACRO Fest", "Panama Jazz Festival", and "IFF Panamá" or "Festival Internacional de Cine de Panamá" are events that ignited my passion for the arts, inspires me, and I always look forward to attending every year.
