During my senior year of high school, the pandemic offered an unexpected chance to delve deeply into my passion for film and cinematography. With plenty of time and a newfound curiosity, I began exploring video editing using Final Cut Pro (which I somehow discovered and downloaded for free through a YouTube tutorial). Inspired by the creative edits of my favorite shows and movies shared by content creators, I was eager to channel my enthusiasm into something tangible.

Thus, @simplixity._ was born. By immersing myself in the Instagram creator community and actively engaging with fellow enthusiasts, I grew my account’s organic engagement significantly. Watching my follower count soar from hundreds to thousands and my content garnering over 100,000 views was an exhilarating experience. This journey not only honed my skills in video editing and graphic design but also taught me invaluable lessons about audience engagement and storytelling.

The success of @simplixity._ was a transformative experience that deepened my love for film and media. It ignited my decision to pursue media and film production studies in college, profoundly shaping my career aspirations. The insights and skills I gained from this passion project continue to influence my creative work and professional endeavors.

@simplixity._
