Sometimes I think that I will never love another person as much as I love art. What kind? All of it and any of it. As a spectator and a creator, art, and especially the art of storytelling, is how I relate to the world around me. It is vastly personal and common to every country and every culture. It functions as a reflection of the world we know and the world as we wish it was, what it can be and how we experience it.
Hello, my name is Lauren Swintek, and yes, I do like the sound of my own voice. I am currently a student at Whittier College, where I am constructing a major that explores film, creative writing, and visual art. Art has always been a part of my life whether it was in the form of my father’s career as a photographer or the clumsy drawings and matching stories of my childhood. For as long as I can remember, I have had a voracious appetite for books and literature, initially craving the escape they offered and eventually learning to savor the depth of care and meaning within them. In more recent years, my tastes have expanded, feeding my growing love for cinema and its engagement with storytelling on such a massive scale.
In short, I want to be a storyteller. I want to bring my ideas to life and I hope that they can bring the same joy to others as they do to me.
