Introduction

    Hello! My name is Sydney Poniewaz. I am from a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri and am currently attending the University of Tampa to study film and media arts. I come from a family of creatives: both my brother and my dad are musicians. I, unfortunately, have a terrible singing voice and no musical talent, but I have found my passion instead in visual storytelling. 

    Film has always served an important role in my life. I believe that it is a vital tool not only to gain an understanding of yourself, but also the world around you. I am excited to participate in FMX 210 this semester, and feel incredibly lucky to have this opportunity to grow as a filmmaker and as a person.
