AIDA LASHINSKY: VIDEOGRAPHER (STAFF OF 2014-2015)

Hello everyone, my name is Aida and I am a Junior at Seminole. Journalism is my obsession. I studied journalism in 9th grade and in 10th grade I made it on staff so this is my second year and I love it. I work as a writer for the Sanford Herald as well.

I’m pretty sure I always want to be a reporter but my main passion and focus lies in filmmaking. I love making documentary films and I also love writing stories and creating my own acted-out films by directing it all. My main role model as a filmmaker is Jan Svankmajer. I am completely amazed and inspired by his demented stop-motion works. They are amazing. No other words, just amazing.

Besides journalism and filmmaking I have many other hobbies, if that’s what they could be listed as. I’ve played piano since the beginning of my memory and I used to do fencing and horse riding as a kid. I’ve always loved art of all types and I love running as well. Tree climbing is a major thing for me, I love to climb all the way to the tops of the big old oak trees around my neighborhood. Skateboarding is awesome too. I do parkour and practice gymnastics for fun and I also am learning ballroom dance, although I’m not much of a dancer as of yet. As far as my personality I guess I could classify myself as a modern hippie… yes that is a term. I prefer bikes to cars and I can always be seen riding around Sanford. I outgrew the awesome mountain bike I got as a kid so I’ve had to use my mom’s cruiser that came with a hamburger shaped bell attached to the handle. Yeah… so I’m vegan and the bell broke a while back but anyways I keep it for the irony.

I prefer to disregard all social barriers and will gladly kick off a conversation with anyone willing. I’ll get into any kind of music except rock and roll and disney pop. My favorite musicians are Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple, and my dad. Yup. And I don’t like to talk about myself much either but I made the resolution to put more into this than my one sentence last year. So thanks for visiting my page and hope you enjoyed my bio!
