Once I left Connecticut to come to school in Rhode Island, I felt an abnormality in myself. I wondered for weeks what it was. I was still continuing art in means of photography and editing and following my passions of theatre with my BA.
Being constantly surrounded by other artists who continuously work on their art day and night has shifted though. That sense of normality to me was missing, and that made me feel like a piece of me was, too, missing. Thus, I began running ideas through my head of how to incorporate art more into my life as I progress through college.
After about a week of thinking, I came to the conclusion that I'd like to create a production team filled with RIC artists ranging from visual arts to music, writing to filming to acting and all of the aspects of each. With this group of people, we'd work on getting our art to the public and to gain recognition through collaborations with one another.
This is why the past few articles I published were about film ideas and about a film I've been thinking of for over a year. I truly want to start getting that film into production and to collaborate with people at RIC and gain that sense of artistry back in myself and with the people I surround myself with.
