Powered Up! for the World

I remembered my first time stepping into a Hindu temple. I was taken aback by the sights, sounds and smell. It was so different from churches that I frequent but strangely familiar too. There is always a sense of peace in a place of worship, regardless of religion. I decided to bring my cousin along to be my presenter and relate her experience of visiting a Hindu temple for the first time. Sheena is sort of clumsy but I guess that's what makes her endearing to others. People gravitate towards her and she can chat up any stranger, anywhere. I thought she would make an excellent partner since I prefer to work behind the camera. My job now is related to video production for online content. I do a lot of editing but my real passion lies in storytelling. I shoot, direct and write too. But I am far from a real filmmaker. My biggest dream is to work for National Geographic, hence this scholarship is my best bet in achieving this goal. Otherwise, I would need to swim my way to the States for a chance. I love to travel and try new things. I want to be inspired by what I experience and inspire others through my work.
