Hi, I’m a student at Full Sail, graduating in October 2025. After high school, I spent a year teaching English in Honduras and then served in the U.S. Navy. Once I transitioned to civilian life, I enrolled at Full Sail with little direction but strong motivation.

I’ve genuinely enjoyed attending school here, which is something new for me. At 29, I paint full-time (Monday to Friday) while studying Digital Cinematography. I love collaborating with others, and now that I’m comfortable with my camera, I’m ready to elevate my skills.

My student journey has been intense, but it’s helped me focus on my filmmaking interests. I appreciate the creative freedom at Full Sail—my teachers are open to my unique ideas, allowing me to explore my niche fully.

I look forward to meeting you and assisting in any way I can. Keep pushing forward—you’ve got this! 

Respectfully,
Avery Forton
