My first video project was a half hour video my friends and I decided to make. We borrowed a camera, bought a really, really terrible microphone, and took off. It took us about two years, but we finally came out with Emoticon, a detective film. We had a lot of trouble (dying batteries, missing/faulty equipment, etc.), but instead of turning us off, it just got us hooked. We started Dead Battery Productions, and kept making videos. We couldn't make them very fast because we were all still in school, but we kept plugging away, and after a couple years, we were hired to film the Michael Novak Symposium for the business school at the Catholic University of America. Soon after, a lot of us moved away to college, and so I've had to start making videos a bit more on my own. I've started a YouTube channel named Anacostia Cinema, which you can find here. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next!
