south african traditional healer moonlights as world-famous artists teres
Prasad that my project is a web series called where art thou and the premises
that you can learn about different countries through their art
this is bouillabaisse with Suwannee she's a South African artist who's made
a name for herself in her country and internationally through her sculptures
multimedia and performance art so I went to South Africa and I interviewed
different artists and through them learned more about their country and
found out about things that were important to them and important to their
society when I came back to the States I used the tips that I learned from
Gabriel and Ryan here at the mono Center to help edit the the project and then I
used the the booth was fabulous over here to do the voice-over but without
the Melrose Center I would not be where I am today my intention is to be a great
film director and then lever Center was the first step I took on that path and I
know that without the Melrose Center there's no way it would be this far and
for that I'm very grateful and also very grateful that I don't have $100,000 in
student loan debt from film school
