Something resembling a manifesto?

My name is Rory. As a small child I knew I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. It is thanks to the advent of DVDs and their making-of documentaries that I decided I wanted to participate in the magic of movie making. In middle and high school I tried to get into tech theater and computer graphic classes to work towards that goal, but it never worked with my schedule. I fell into foreign languages classes studying Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I started college studying Chinese. Then I went to massage school. Then I studied business. Then I got an A.A. in general studies. Now I'm here at UNCW finally finishing my bachelor's degree in what I've always wanted to do: film. I want to make work that is cathartic and fun for me, and hopefully at least visually appealing to an audience. Having them experience fun or catharsis is nice, too. I'm learning how to set the "narrative mindset" aside to just let stuff happen as I make film. I want to work independently or with small crews.

I also hope to one day be remembered for my body of work, as well as some prominent bodily feature. Like Man Ray and his eyebrows.
