21. I spent my early childhood living with my old aunt in the suburbs of Jacmel. I attended elementary school there until 5th grade when she moved to New York City and sent me back to my parents’. I was 12. Back at home, I lived with my mom, my dad and my 10 siblings. My parents were at each other’s throats and often breaking up. As a consequence, I was taken out of school for a few years. I always dreamt of being on stage singing or acting and, guess what? Thanks to Ciné Institute, I am well on my way. In my spare time, I think of scripts, sing church music, and imagine my picture on billboards around the world. My hunger for knowledge is finally being satisfied. Filmmaking is thrilling. I am already a proud camerawoman. Every day brings a new opportunity… For instance, I am so thankful for having taken part in the making of Ayiti Ayiti!* My future is full of hopes.

22. I was born and raised in Jacmel. I have 3 older brothers, one of whom is a painter, another owns a cultural website and the 3rd is a violin player, teaching music in Mozambique. I am now finishing my university studies in communications and journalism. Before Ciné Institute, I wanted to be Haiti’s famous viola player. Now, I am loving film. In the school, I love my colleagues, the harmonious atmosphere, the team spirit, the staff’s devotion, and the filmmakers who come from all over the world… They make me dream!!! I’m now convinced I want to help my community through film. I can’t predict the future but I know that if we want things to change, we have to get involved. Later on, I will pursue cinematography, write stories, edit, and become a reporter known throughout the world. My family and friends will be proud of me. KEZIAH JEAN 23
