STATEMENT
Hi, I’m Raquel and I’m very passionate about film. I’ve had three years of education in digital media film studies and I’m eager to learn more and get more experience, because I believe collaboration is the best way to learn and create wholesome content. My excitement and energy for any project related to video is what sets me apart. If I had to describe my work in a few words I’d say, it inspires by showing something different. I like to highlight people’s passions and use that to channel exciting energy for my audience to feel inspired by what they’ve seen. Whether it be an exotic activity or a different way of life, as seen on my reel with the piece called Journey of Flight, as well as the documentary on eating vegan, I try to inspire my audience to go out and find the thing that makes them feel the same passion felt by the people I showcase in my films.
The way I approach my filmmaking is by looking at the world as having so many different stories to tell, whether from imagination or from experience. As seen in my reel, I gravitate toward making documentaries because this style allows me to inform my audience through interviews with people with personal experience and can also show visuals of those experiences in action. I feel that visually showing what the interviewee is talking about is what makes the experience seem real and causes the feeling of inspiration that I am trying to instill in my audience. That being said, I do still enjoy creating narrative pieces and I have created many in the past, however I feel that the path I am on now with my filmmaking is drawing me to create more documentary pieces.
In conclusion, I want my audience to feel that they have the initiative to go out into the world and do the thing they were previously too afraid or unmotivated to do. I want them to feel energized and believe that they can be the person they want to be. I hope to have inspired them to go out and discover their passion.
