I've always liked watching movies. When I was a kid I would watch all of the animated Disney movies countless times. My favorites were The Lion King, Toy Story, and Hercules. I also liked to watch live action films like The Sandlot, The Little Rascals remake, and The Neverending Story. Once I got a bit older I started to get into more mature films like Jurassic Park, Robocop, and Terminator 2. But it wasn't until around the end of middle school that I really started to become more interested in films as more than just a source of entertainment.
              It was a film titled Se7en directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman that inspired me to look into film as a hobby. Something about the movie just clicked with me; the twists, the suspense, and the grittiness fascinated me. After that I started looking into top ten lists on the internet and worked my way through a bunch because I use to have a lot of free time when I was younger. My taste has changed and evolved throughout the years and I've now explored "deeper" into art-house and foreign films. I would like to start directing short films just as a hobby but I still haven't really made anything yet because I haven't had the time or money yet but hopefully I will soon.
