A Final Reflection of Fall 2016 Semester Abroad
I began working on 48 Hour Film Projects in Summer 2014. It was at Kent State University, and I was eager to work with older students who had the experience I wanted. Two years later, I was in Osaka, Japan, working on my second, and have done one each year ever since.
