       This has been my favorite film class I have ever taken. Hands down. When I first joined this class I was not particularly excited because I thought it would just be us watching a bunch of weird videos but wow was I wrong. This class instilled in me a new thought process. A new way of thinking about how I interact with the film medium. It opened up my creative process and allowed me to interpret cinema as an art form. In my opinion, this is the greatest gift you can hope to receive from taking a film course. My perception of 'making a movie' has now been expanded into the never ending universe of experimental film. This class has taught me how to channel my interior visuals into an exterior piece that can be seen by all. I think I really have found a love for experimental film. After taking this class, I honestly believe that experimental is the most important form of film because it is the purest form of originality. When you are given boundless parameters to explore, your finished product is going to be as unique as the medium allows. These concepts don't have to just be used in film either, they can be used in every facet of life. Looking at the world without filters allows for you to see things with complete honesty. I have learned to follow my mind wherever its nonlinear path may take me. My opinions are no longer binding. This course has inspired me to endlessly create. I wish this class wouldn't come to an end. I hope to take this open mindset with me into my future endeavors in and out of filmmaking.
