“Education has always been extremely important to me, which is why I’ve dreamed of going to a university to further my academics, while at the same time, fine-tune my filmmaking skills. This award will significantly help me financially achieve my educational and creative goals, especially as a student paying out-of-state tuition. My goal as a filmmaker is to continue what I’ve started on YouTube and use comedy as a tool to spread happiness and inspire people all around the world to view life in a lighter way. Thank you for helping artists like myself take one step closer to our dreams.”
