Many students have a passion for filmmaking, which can vary from making school dance promotion videos, creating documentaries, and producing horror films Story by Stella Mosier

Film is a form of media that begins with a piece of writing that’s translated into a visual piece of art. The art of film is most commonly enjoyed by the audience; however, the process of filmmaking is the passion of many students.

“Watching movies as a kid really inspired me,” senior Angel Tamayo said. “Film was something I clung onto as a child.”

Film is versatile which allows for inspiration to be gained in many different ways. Some students enjoy the creative freedom it provides.

“I’ve always loved film, especially horror,” junior Cooper Stone said. “That’s what I specialize in, it’s just always sparked my imagination.”

While Stone specializes in horror, he has also created the school’s homecoming and prom promotion videos. These videos are widely appreciated by students throughout the school.

The versatility of film provides some filmmakers the ability to fulfill their passions in different ways. Some students create many different genres of film.

“I have worked in journalistic filmmaking, documentary and short film, as well as a stop motion animated film,” senior Caroline Börk said.

The passion has turned into a potential career for these students. Tamayo, Stone and Börk all plan to continue creating film after high school.

“It is one of the most powerful mediums to tell stories, incite emotion and relate to an audience,” Börk said.
