01 / THE STORY
Synopsis
Surrounded by seemingly confident filmmakers, a new student begins to see herself as a background character in everyone else’s story. Through inner monologue and quiet observations of campus life, The Outsider follows her first steps toward finding a creative voice—and discovering that looking closely can be its own beginning.
02 / THE STORY
Behind the camera
At USC’s School of Cinematic Arts Summer Program, I worked on three short films, writing screenplays, directing, and taking on different roles on both sides of the camera. Each project gave me a new way to tell a story, and taught me how much filmmaking depends on listening to the people creating it with you.
Writing and directing also taught me to turn an idea into choices that actors and crew could understand and build on. I learned to explain my vision, listen to other interpretations, and adapt when a scene needed something different.
