Me and Movies - Introduction - Tyrone Dixon

" Me and Movies" is a short narrative that shares some insight about my career path. As a young person I was always intrigued by television and film and how it all works. I have always felt a connection to Los Angeles and everything Hollywood is all about. I've recently connected with some friends from elementary school and they remind that making movies has been something I have always wanted to do. Even though I had no support, I some how found my way to my passion. Interestingly enough, creating this piece was quite cathartic and gave me a more internal and focused look at how I teach narrative in the context of conceptualization, actualization and redacting and how I practice as a storyteller.

This was a process. Usually when I am doing a production it is a collaborative process. Maybe in the beginning, a writer is creating the master piece, but to see it through requires many people who share a passion for storytelling. This experience allowed me to go through the process alone, therefore requiring me to think in many directions in order to tell one story. The images, the sounds the music all are manipulated and finessed. The psychology behind the creation helps to explore the psychology of those who are affected by it. It embodies a thought, complete with a beginning, middle, an end and an objective to affect an individuals cognitive understanding. This is a gift to share with others. There is a freedom associated with being able to tell a story using just the resource at hand, a computer.
