You should probably know a little bit about me before knowing anything about this blog.
My name is Monique Flores. I grew up deep in the Rio Grande Valley in a city called McAllen for the first eighteen years of my life. Now I’m a junior at Texas State University studying Mass Communications with a minor in Theatre.
I consider myself a very passionate person. I’ve always been undoubtedly passionate about storytelling. Storytelling through film creates a feeling unlike any other and there’s just something special about watching a story unfold before your eyes. In the future, I’ll hopefully have the opportunity to tell my stories through film.
This blog will be my way of investigating what movies are special to people, why those movies are special, and how those movies create special moments. I believe it’s those moments that make a movie great.
But in order to tell a great story, the storyteller must first understand his or her audience. And that’s really what it comes down to, I suppose. I want to understand my audience and learn about the true power of creating movies that inspire others. I think Ms. Hepburn put it best:
“Everything I learned I learned from the movies.” – Audrey Hepburn
So, let’s talk about movies.
