My name is Alexandra Pullen, but everyone calls me Alex. I would have to say that dancing is one of the most influential aspecets of my life. I have been dancing since I was three, and I believe that it has helped me express myself and evolve into the person I am today. I am a very fun person to be around because of my sense of humor; on the contrary, I also have strong feelings when it comes to controversial topics. I am the kind of person who craves to know everything, and loves an intelligent conversation along with a humorous one.
Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania has been called "home" for my entire life of eighteen years; therefore, a big part of why I am here at UMBC. I am an interdisiplinary major which consists of bringing dance, film, and phycology together. By doing so, I am hoping to create something that in the future, employers cannot turn away; a sort of "tripple threat".
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to work behind the scenes of a major motion picture. However, I could not exactly figure out how to make this actually happen. I then suddenly got the urge to create a movie about the Holocaust, in memory of my great grandfather who was a surviver. Although it would not be a "bubbly and happy" movie, I realized that i wanted to accomplish a greater good with my work. Eventually as my mind matured, I realized that I had to start from scatch and work my way up to get to where i wanted to be.
I want to learn the basics first. I must learn the correct way to become a movie icon. Although I understand that this is not strictly a film-related course, it offers many of the beginning steps that I am required to take. This class, in my eyes, is a stepping stone in making my dream become a reality.

"I am the kind of person who craves to know everything and loves an intelligent conversation along with a humorous one." You and I are cut from the same cloth. Not to mention I often dance around in my underoos for no reason.
I also love film and although I am not majoring in it I will always have a passion for it. I almost worked on an inde film project this summer and I've started gathering notes on my own screenplay.
I agree, "this class, in my eyes, is a stepping stone in making my dream become a reality." So, inspiring. Anyhow, we should grab a coffee some time.
Yeah, my bad. The former comment from sq, is actually from my freak alternate personality who wasn't paying attention when she logged in. Oops.
I'm also an interdisciplinary major, nice to see another one! Also, I totally went to the midnight screening of Harry Potter, such a good movie, seriously.
I thought your name was familiar! I look forward to getting to know you more this semester. I must tell you, that as MTC president, your dance background makes me really excited. I hope you still consider applying for an assistant director position. You'd be perfect.
I understand your wanting to leave PA. Sure, it's a fine place to live, but sometimes, it's just time to get away. That's why I went to Penn State; to get away from MD.
I'm a psychology minor, so if you need any suggestions about what classes to take, I'd be glad to help you out!
We have so much in common if we ever speak we might rupture some type of parallel universe or something. I've never heard of Fairless Hills, but then again no one has heard of Harrisburg...such is the life of a Pennsylvanian *sigh*. What part of film do you want to get into? Directing, producing, both? I tried to become a screenwriter for a short period of time, but i don't think I have enough to say yet. Good luck in all of your pursuits and i hope to have a controversial discussion with you in the near future.
It’s very impressive that you’ve been dancing since you were three! It takes a lot of vigor and enthusiasm to do something for such a long time. Anyways, welcome to Maryland. I hope it’ll open your eyes to new things and you’ll enjoy it here as much as you did in Pennsylvania.
