This is Me

My name is Kirk Torgerson and I am a film and video major at Grand Valley state University. I have learned much while at Grand Valley. I have had the opportunity to use equipment and resources that have advanced my filmmaking. However, my filmmaking goes back much further than Grand Valley.

I first discovered my love of film in middle school when my friends and I began going to the movies at least once a week. We soon began to make our own videos using my parent’s old Video Cassette camcorder. We acted in them and filmed them. Most of them were comedy skits.

It was high school where I really realized this could be a career. Since I went to a small school, a friend and I formed our own independent study film class and made a film for our final project.

I have grown so much through my film experiences and I hope this blog will allow me to expose my work. Also, I aim to discuss my experiences with other films and related topics.
