“The purpose of the Senior Zenith Project is to ignite your passion and elevate your skills and experiences to create your ultimate and most successful Freestyle project.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project, the idea came from Hannah, who is my partner. She knew that I was directing the musical Little Shop of Horrors and suggested that we create a documentary about the process as a whole. We researched the different types of documentaries as well as the history of Little Shop of Horrors. I decided to work with Hannah Kitaumra for the actual Documentary. I am working with many people who hold different positions to help bring my vision to life for the show itself. I chose to work with Hannah because we both agreed that working with another person would help lower stress and get more things done quickly and efficiently. I think it was very successful because we have similar mindsets and work well together. The 21st Century Skill that I improved upon the most is visual literacy. I think I improved the most with this skill because I found new ways to combine the two parts of my life. Theater and film through making a very visual documentary. I learned a lot about time management. I know that seems like an easy way to answer the question but I think it’s something that I grew a lot in. I was balancing being the director and having to lead 15 people to success but also filming the entire process and editing and conducting interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the future, I hope to continue directing and I think what I learned through this process will help me be more on top of urgent things that need to be done in order for the show to be a success. I am really happy with how our zenith project turned out. We got what we wanted to be done, and I think it gives the viewer insight into how community theater works. That begging said, Both Hannah and I are getting to the point where we just want to be done with school, so trying to motivate ourselves to finish has been difficult. But, I am glad that we did, and I am excited for people to see both the documentary and the final show. If I could do this project again I would start everything way earlier instead of doing the majority of it a few weeks before. I think having more time we could have perfected it even more. We would love for you to come to see the show running from May 20-22 at the Mountain View Performing Arts Center.
