KEEGAN ALEXIS LEILANI
THE sixteen YEAR OLD sophomore ART MAJOR
CAMILLA BELLE
BASICS
HELD OUR BREATH FOR TOO LONG,
NOW WE'RE HALF SICK ABOUT IT
My name is Keegan Alexis Leilani and i am sixteen years old. I was born on a scorching hot summer day, June 12, 1993. People just call me Keegan, but every once in a great while someone will discover my middle name, Alexis, and jokingly calll me Lexi. I will quickly correct them because only one person in my life is allowed to call me by that name. I am straight but find subjects like boys and makeup the least part of my worries. Now filming, that is one of the things that is most important to me, and that is why I chose film studies for my major. We are new to this country, 'we' being my mom, little brother, and I.
GENERAL
AND ALTHOUGH PRATFALLS CAN BE FUN
ENCORES CAN BE FATALI was born in Hawaii and was living there hapily until a tragic day that tore my family apart-my dad died. He had an unexpected heart attack and we didn't even have the time to say our last goodbyes. He brought the fun to the family- always being positve and never failing to see the true beauty in things. He was born on in Hawaii and knew every legend and every story, and could tell them with such detail that would keep us up way past our bedtime. My father would look at situations on all sides and i believe that is how filming can come so easily to me. The family that he left behind tried to cope for a couple months but they just couldn't do it. So we packed our bags and made the dangerous decision to move to Canada, leaving my childhood behind.Being in a brand new school frightened me like it would for any other new student. My mother constantly told me that one day I would make a friend or two and be used to the surroundings. I am still waiting for that day three years later. My interest in filming kept me alive those boring weekends and summers. Working two jobs my has done all she can to give her kids what they need and sometimes a want here and there. So the first Christmas we shared in the new country, ripping open last weeks newspaper to find a working camcorder, I would have say that was one of the better days of life since my dad had died. First, i started filming the simple things- a birthday or a random sports event. But then as i got older it got more complex turning into really short films starring my brother and if i was lucky a neighborhood kid. The plots were predictable and costumes simple but i always loved the feeling of accomplishment, even if everything didn't turn out how i wanted it to. My mother noticed my obsession and knew that as i got older there was only one career path for me. Barely passing in the core classes she finally excepted that film was my real passion and not just a phases that i would grow out of.At the end of my freshman year my mom decided that i was fit to go to Harbin Academy. My shy personality and passion for things other than social interactions bothered her a little. I had to promise that if I were to attend this school that i would have to be more outgoing because she believed that it might make my life a little more happier and help my filming 'projects' get better. I gladly accepted but didn't make any promises, seeing as it is not easy to change a introverted personality in one school year.
