Who am I

So begins my blog, and a glorious blog it shall be.  Hello everybody, my name is Dylan Elliott, and I'm here to tell you who I am.  I am a twenty years old, Wisconsin native, and current student of the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater, of which I am in my junior year, majoring in multimedia.

My greatest interest in life is film.  From early childhood when my favorite film was The Land Before Time, to now, where my number one spot is tied between Pulp Fiction and Ed Wood, I have always had a love of movies.  Yes, I would like to one day make movies of my own, but the first step in filmmaking is thinking up a good story, and one has yet to come to me.

To date, the only films I have made have been class projects; the resources I've needed have only been available this way.  I've made a faux news report and public service announcement, and a short zombie film.  Science-fiction and horror are my two favorite genres, and I'd like one day to make to make a feature length film in each.  However, you have to walk before you can run, and I still need to learn how to write in a formal script format. 

So, that is me and my interests in a nutshell.  I look forward to writing more as the year goes on.

  1. You don't need to come up with a good story to make a movie - look for someone else who has one to share, but doesn't know how to film it. Or, for non-profit groups and small businesses that need work done to get more experience.
