NYFA Reunion

Exactly six years ago to the date, I went to a film camp in Orlando, Florida that changed my life. The camp (held by the New York Film Academy...or NYFA, for short) helped give me 'the bug' that really gave me a deep interest and passion in film. Furthermore, I might some incredible people that I am still proud to say I am in contact with still! Today, I had a chance to meet up with Libby (who happened to be in Los Angeles for a family wedding on this magical day). We had a great time catching up and chatting about life. Since our first time meeting six years ago at Disney, a lot has changed! Take a look below at some highlights.

Elliot Levitt

Elliot came to the NYFA Film Camp with a strong interest in editing. Flash forward to the present and Elliot is now in LA where he is still on the path to become a feature film editor. I am happy to say Elliot and I hang out all the time!

Abby Brown

Abby Brown came to NYFA with a passion to get into acting. Now, Abby still has an interest in acting and just graduated college. She is considering her options and plans to move forward with her acting career in New York or Los Angeles. Lucky for me (and Elliot!), Abby visits often in Los Angeles...so we get to see her alot!

I am still in contact with many others from the program, too...but sadly, I don't have recent photo updates from them because I have not seen them recently! Special shout out to David Wappel and Kelly Ort...who I will be seeing in Los Angeles in the next few months!

I'm crossing my fingers I'll be seeing other friends from NYFA soon, too!
