Reflecting on the moment I had with Elijah when he introduced himself to me and told me he wanted to learn about filmmaking. Four Squared had just become a 501c3 nonprofit organization and Elijah became one of my first year film students I had the please of teaching. He stuck around through high school learned and created many films. When it was time for him to go to College he decided to continue studying film. He has accomplished so much more in the industry than I ever have! He’s worked and learned way more than I ever did! There are times when I call him for advice, ideas or to even help with my current film student projects. He’s creative in every way, shape and form. Even down to his clothes 🤣 (you know I had to say it ) He’s written and created so many GREAT films and has become an excellent Director! Elijah would say to me, “If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be here” Much appreciated E but YOU did all the work! Today we have a College Grad and I couldn’t be more proud of him. He told me not to make a big deal out of it but u bumped your damn head boy if you thought that I wouldn’t! You have all the passion and the drive it takes to be an award winning Filmmaker and I can not wait to be yelling at the TV screen one day, “I know him, he was one of my student filmmakers” 😂 I LOVE YOU KID! CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING. We going out, dinner on Kevin 😂 (inside joke) Once this RONA is over...
