After a life-changing ambassador year in 2011, and four subsequent transformative years on staff as a JuFa, I was incredibly eager to mix my love for HOBY with my life’s passion: filmmaking. This year I filmed the Iowa HOBY seminar and will be working hard allsummer editing and working on promotional videos for Iowa HOBY’s marketing endeavors! This experience has been so important to my growth as an artist and as a person. Filming and editing with the fast paced nature of HOBY was very trying, but so rewarding. After putting in roughly 60 hours over three days between my partner, Thomas, and I we were so thankful for the opportunity. Next summer we will be headed to India to finish shooting a documentary I started in 2014. Not only did HOBY give us the practice of working together in high intensity conditions and under the documentary mode, but more importantly, the experience at HOBY inspired us to work harder; we are more passionate about our future projects than ever before.
