Bio :)

Hey!  I'm Toni.  Coming from a small tightly knit town, Burlington Wisconsin, I haven't experienced city life like this before.  Although a bit nervous, I am so ecstatic to know that Chicago is where I will be living the next four adventurous years of my life.  I can't really put into words why exactly I chose Columbia but I know this is where I am suppose to be.  My scholarship may have been a deciding factor as well.:)  My major is film and video.  I love filmmaking because I am an artist and after all film brings all art forms together and harmoniously makes them one.  I use to be interested in acting until I took a film acting class where we had a mock production set.  I was more interested in talking to the camera guy that my acting coach.  My parents also owned a movie theater for most of my life.  I practically grew up in that theater.  My dream job would be to edit movie trailers. :)  Which is strange because a lot of people in film don't like editing.  I love it!  I have a lot of "loves" in life.  I love rural areas, because I love the quiet and how gorgeous everything is.  I love movies, for obvious reasons.  I love my summer job as a camp counselor.  I get to chill with little kids and teach them about Jesus all day and get paid for it!  I couldn't imagine spending my summers anywhere else.  I love coffee.  It is just so delicious.  Finally, film is my passion, thats why Im here!  But above all else my true love will always lie with Jesus Christ.  He's my best friends.  Writing isn't exactly my strong suit, that's why I don't really like it.  I am a perfectionist and writing is just one thing I can't perfect.  I am a hard working and determined person though.  So I am hoping to overall improve my writing skills.
