This is me.

If I would describe myself in one word, it would probably be "artsy." Ever since I was in the kindergarten I already had a relationship with the arts, particularly - drawing. Drawing was interesting for me because it was easy to get started, you just had to get a piece of paper; a pen or a pencil; a good, sturdy chair and table; then you can draw.

Drawing allowed me an escape from the realities of life. It's nice to know that whenever I feel forlorn or bored I could just get a piece of pen and paper, and create my own world.

Drawing was my love interest up until recently that I've started to take a liking to the art of cinema. As a child I've always loved watching movies and like drawing, they allowed me an escape from reality, but I never saw them as art, for me they were just sources of entertainment.

Because we are now living in the digital age, movies and other media have never been as accessible as they were before, naturally I had easier access to films, I could just go to a website, select a film, then watch it online. Then I started watching a lot; I also watched the processes it took to make a single movie and it enthralled me. That was when I started to appreciate cinema as a serious art form, and in the future I would want to collaborate with other people and make a motion picture that would also entertain and allow other people to go in to this world.

I want to be a filmmaker.

Now let's go back to the word that would describe me the best, "artsy." I'm saying this because whatever art form interests me today or tomorrow, it's still the same, I'm still the artist I was back in kindergarten, and over the years I have also been interested in other art forms like painting and photography, but it was drawing and filmmaking that captivated me the most. So whatever happens, one thing is sure to remain.

This is me. I'am Tyron Santos, the artist.
