My name is Jacob Balken, and I am a student filmmaker, actor, and photographer living in Simi Valley, California. My interests as of now include making short films, going out into nature and taking photos, as well as acting onstage. I selected the topic of making a documentary in particular because in the past, especially in my film class, I have toyed with the idea of making a documentary before, yet I never went on to execute it. With the film featured in this documentary, Three, I had worked on it for a long time (a year, to be exact) and I had a lot to work with considering how much time I spent on it. The things that I think I will be able to take away from this project and use in my own growth and learning are the basic structure of a documentary with multiple aspects to it, as well as more insight about the film industry and life skills from my mentor.
