Personally, I do not want to create art just for entertainment solely because I don’t think there is enough time. Somehow we should be constantly learning and changing to make our society better. Media influences culture. Making stories reproducible has brought to many societies together to learn about how one lives in a different world, a different life.

Since the printing press, the people have created technology to propagate stories for mass consumption. It is the most powerful way for humanity to come together as a whole. We are always becoming better and have a long history with this form of communication. Once we had the ability to take photographs and record of sound, we had film. The ability to experience a story with two of our senses. That is an incredible power.

This power we have seen in the past has been (and still is) used the medium for propaganda and to consolidate power. We’ve seen it used in commercials to make a product or company a household name, making some people rich and successful. We’ve seen it used in film and television to create common stories watched by people all over the world. It is a powerful, powerful thing to get professionals who want to tell stories to work on something together.

I say this especially because I did not come from money. Growing up I always had a home. I always had food. But we were on food assistance from time to time. My parents worked hard, we got by and I was fine to go to college. I saved up to go to college but not nearly enough. So, therefore, I started out the world educated and in debt.
