My name is Challis Lee, and I am a junior studying Film and Digital Media at Loyola University Chicago. My main interest is in screenwriting, but I have experience in other areas such as directing, producing, editing and cinematography as I’ve worked on numerous short film projects. I chose to study film because I believe that it's an important medium that can bring people together to reach deeper, emotional levels and make connections. Outside of the classroom, I work in Loyola's Office of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conflict Resolution where I serve as a Lead Conflict Resolution Liaison, helping peers mediate their conflict and instructing them on how to handle difficult conversations.
