My name is Sam, and I’m a recent college graduate. Ever since I was young, I’ve always loved film and other visual mediums. I was at a Regal Cinema every week, without fail, for a solid three years in high school. So, although I will continue to make jokes about how I could’ve gotten a lucrative job in STEM, I’d like to dedicate my post-grad to exploring the good, the bad, and the ugly of film – Ha. I’d like to spend my post-graduate time cultivating the kind of stories and art that I want to see in the world. Whether this comes from journalism or visual mediums, I’d love for you to explore what the world has to offer with me.
Love,
Sam Vargas
