Today, I (Mckenna) got to interview 17 year old filmmaker Ella Fields. I watched her short film Stereo (that has 10M views) back in middle school and I've been following her ever since. She is incredibly talented, kind, creative, and a huge inspiration for teens interested in film. Ella writes, casts, directs, edits, etc. and has been mastering her craft since she was in elementary school making movies with her younger sister. Shoutout to Taya for cooperating and being a huge part of Ella's films to this day. We talked all about her experiences making films at such a young age, the things she's gotten out of her youtube channel, and much more including how she was crowned on musical.ly in middle school.
We of course talked about the infamously controversial FILM SCHOOLLLL- jk it's not that controversial, but we like getting different people's opinions on it. I also had the chance to tell Ella that she needs to get a really good coat since she's coming the east coast for college. Those january winds are gonna hit her like a train coming from sunny california (but we love it here)
If you ever see Ella in a thrift shop in LA, make sure to yell out "hey! you make movies!" to get her attention. Until then, follow her in these places:
