Title/titel: „The Chen“
I was asked to do this for a project at Instituto Buena Bista where I am a student for the orientation course. My teacher Tirzo told me about this project. You never know unless you try and besides life is full off surprises. You never can create your future if you don’t risks to do things unexpected. At the end of the project I did enjoy it. It was fun to make a short film and I hope that what I have had learned from this project will be of good use later in life.

I like making movies and when Tirzo Martha, my teacher, told me about this project, I was really happy I could join. I can finally express myself with visual new media and that will be of very much use for me in my future as an artist; in September I will start art academy in the Netherlands (The Hague)… I seriously loved this project! Really much thank you guys!
