The New York Film Academy (NYFA) in my opinion isn’t just a college of fine arts, its a college of life. My experience has been rewarding and challenging at the same time. I relished the opportunity NYFA gave me to take photographs at the Art Basel event, which was my first time seeing real art in galleries. It was amazing.
When I say you learn life, NYFA teaches you how to live properly in this tumultuous world we live in. Without the school, I would have lived in this world defending my emotions and locking myself away internally out of self defense from regular society, as the normal population teaches itself to do so. That’s not life and NYFA will prove that to you.
Special thanks to Elli Ventouras, the director and senior vice president of the school, because she is the baddest, most outstanding boss I’ve ever encountered. She gave me the power to not doubt myself and the confidence to believe in what’s right…
