oh hey friends...

Hey everyone! 

My name's Rachel Hart, or you might know me as the tall, quiet blonde that sits towards the back of the room. I'm a Film Production major on the LA track (squeals excitedly behind computer). For about 90% of my life, the plan was to get a PhD and become a psychologist and work near my hometown in Ann Arbor, but that suddenly changed a couple of years ago when one day I was randomly just like "I'm gonna go into film. WAIT WHAT?" Now, movies have always been a favorite past time of mine and I'd like to consider myself a storyteller and writer, so that part made sense. The part that didn't add up to me was how did I jump from psychology to film? Soon, I started to realize how much psychology goes into making a film. Without an understanding of human nature and emotions it's impossible to make a movie. The most subtle details make the biggest differences. After I saw the bridge between them I started to see a bunch of signs that kept pushing me in this direction. The most inspiring moment was getting to meet Jeff Daniels and perform with him and he signed my old VHS tape of Fly Away Home. I'd spent my whole life telling myself someday I'd meet my childhood hero and then BAM. So cool. 

In my free time, I obviously love to watch movies (Netflix is a passion of mine). I also like reading and writing. Oh and sloths are my true love, and I'm dangerously addicted to my famously unrecognized Tumblr (side note: I was way too excited to have an excuse to go through my folders and use .gifs for a school assignment). I'm basically in my natural habitat on a computer or writing and editing, but when it comes to actual PEOPLE I'm very shy. Once you get to know me though, you'll find that I have a rather witty and sarcastic sense of humor (shoutout to the Internet for ruining my humor and social life).

If you ever see me around campus please say hi and feel free to strike up a conversation because I'd love to get to know you! I look forward to working with all of you over the next couple years here at HU and maybe even in the future some of us will start a production company together. Who knows... Anyways. We can worry about that later. In the meantime, I'll leave you with this...
