Movies That Helped Excel My Craft

I made my first movie when I was in 7th grade and at the time I knew very little about film as a craft and art form. Making movies made me pay attention to film as an art, whereas I see a lot of fellow filmmakers did a lot of cinema studying before ever touching a camera. I’m someone who learns as I go in hopes of expertly honing my craft by the time I graduate film school. Below are some my most treasured films and ones that really pushed me to the place I am at now.
