An Introduction of Sorts

My name is Austin and I’m here to say, I love making films in a major way. Well, I’m here to say a lot of things. Ok so some essential things you should know about me before we start:

1. Favorite Movie : There Will Be Blood
2. Favorite Ice Cream Flavor : Peanut butter Sriracha
3. Eyesight : Perfect except for the whole Colorblind thing
4. Favorite Band : Radiohead
5. Favorite Video Game : The Beginner’s Guide
6. Favorite Color : Black
7. Proper Capitalization : What’s that?

Yep, that’s everything. I don’t know why either of us is still here since I just bared my entire soul. Did I mention I make films? Student films to be exact. (Sidebar: I think all films I make while being a student are probably considered student films and I’ve been a student basically my entire existence. Oh, wait, are you 21? Oh god, you don’t have your ID with you. We’ve got to leave this sidebar.) I started making films in high school with my friend who owned a camera. We made comedies and people laughed at them, but something was nagging at me. I grew dissatisfied with writing shorts that people chuckled at and then forget. So I dove headfirst into other genres and styles and decided I liked the whole film thing.

Fade To:

Int. Small, Rural Liberal Arts College – Present Day

I just finished my thesis film. It was a heckofa lot of work and there may or may not have been blood, sweat, tears, and pacts with the devil involved in its completion. I learned a lot and made the first film I’ve ever been satisfied with. (Although, it’s still a garbage fire in many ways.) Oh? What’s its modest title, you ask?

Go big or go home, some would say. Others just say it’s terrible but I choose to not listen to those buffoons. I should also mention that my friend Joey Schutz scored the film and collaborating with him was the most fun a boy can have. Anyways, enough gushing about my friends. I think this is a good place to leave you. I plan on tweaking my thesis a little before sending it out to festivals, so I’ll be sure to update you on that. Thanks for sticking around for so long.

Austin
