Making Mov(i)es
Hi everybody. My name is Trey Sorensen. I am the former secretary of the Bay Area Film Society, a position I served in over the two previous BAFS seasons. I resigned from the board earlier this spring, my exit accepted by my fellow board members more as an indefinitely-termed leave of absence. I love the film society and I love the Chequamegon Bay. I plan to come back, to both, someday.
For now, though, I’ve relocated to Chicago. The reasons for my move are many, but chief among them is that I don’t just love films–I want to make them, too. I want an active part in their development, production and release both in front of and behind the camera, and I want to make an income for my part in that process.
