Hi and welcome to my website! My name is Stella and I was a film student at Freestyle Academy from 2020 to 2022. Along with film, I also took English and Digital Media. I’ve always been interested in creative media like film, art, music, and design so I was very excited about the opportunity to take classes at Freestyle. I think Freestyle has been a great opportunity to meet new people with similar and different interests.
Outside of Freestyle, I liked to play guitar, listen to music, and watch movies. As of 2020, my favorite films were Sing Street, Back to the Future, and Good Will Hunting. My favorite band was The Cure and I had recently gotten into some modern surf rock/surf punk music. I love seeing how people express themselves through different forms of media and I looked forward to learning about myself and expressing myself through Freestyle!
Over the course of Junior year, I learned new programs I had never even heard of before. On top of this, I learned the importance of collaboration and putting pride in my work. This year had been hard, but everything I’ve gotten out of it had made it worth it.
Joining Freestyle is probably the best decision I’ve made. Not only did I learn important tools to express myself creatively, but I also became more confident in who I am and found an amazingly diverse and supportive community. Freestyle has been such a valuable experience and I will miss being there so much. I have no doubt that the skills and lessons I’ve learned at Freestyle will stick with me in anything that I do in the future.
