About me
My name is Lemo Sekiguchi and I’m a Senior at Los Altos High attending Freestyle Academy for film. Ever since I was little, I loved storytelling and digital art, whether it was making short skits with my friends or stealing my dad’s video camera and recording anything in my house. I was born and raised in Tokyo until the age of 7 when I moved to California which expanded my love for the arts. These past few summers I’ve attended NYFA, USC, and Emerson Filmmaking/Writing program where I had the chance to make my first professional films which extended my aspiration for working in the film industry one day.
Since there were no film clubs at Los Altos, and I wanted to connect with other students passionate about film, I created The Film Society using my knowledge I learned in these programs. In my club, members are able to make their original story ideas come to life and make it their own by using their creative voice! I love creating original music & soundtracks for my films using my violin and guitar that I have been learning for several years! Outside of my love for the arts, I play on a field hockey team called Fly as a forward/mid. I am also one of the officers for an environmental club called Green Team where we fight for the environment and take action to make the community more sustainable. Last year, we were recognized nationally as a green ribbon school! This year I expect to broaden my knowledge about the arts in relation to technology. I hope to experiment and try new things that I have never done before. I’m excited to continue creating art that I am proud of that speaks to what I want to say and find my voice as an artist.
