About Me
Hi, my full name is Kian Jeong-gyu Egami. I was adopted from Ulsan, South Korea when I was six months old and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area my entire life. I am currently in Boston as a first-year student at Emerson College studying Film and Media Production as a Visual Media Arts major. I've been obsessed with cameras ever since I was a kid but it wasn't until high school that I saw how films affected me emotionally, mentally, and physically. I knew then that I needed to make others feel the same range of emotions that I felt so long ago. I want to influence and inspire an audience the way that certain films inspired me. With my extra time, I've recently been exploring different passions of mine, like graphic design and photography!
If you have any questions you'd like to ask me don't hesitate to get in contact!
