Through this project, I improved my production abilities in a number of areas. I had no prior knowledge of film or the media at first. The only time I've had a connection to media was when I watched movies without knowing anything about the production.

Unfortunately, things had taken a turn for me. Last Friday, the day before filming, I had a dance performance scheduled at an event in Miami. At said performan...
