My name is Carmen Ranni; I became interested in the art of filming when I took a gap year to live in Spain believing that learning the language would be helpful as a nurse practitioner.
When in Spain, I backpacked through Europe and I fell in love with traveling. For me, going outside my comfort zone and having spontaneous adventures is what I love. All the while, backpacking by myself across six countries in Europe at eighteen made me experience things in life I never thought I would achieve at such a young age including, the cultures I immersed myself in, the friendships I made and the confidence I gained. I only wish I had my camera to capture it all.
When I came home I knew I had to travel again. I was in school for nursing but was second-guessing if this career and the traditional route was for me. I didn’t want to be in debt for a degree that I was unsure of and began looking into other careers. That’s when I found video production and the endless possibilities there are; I immediately fell in love.
My dad and I always enjoyed making videos in the past. His support and our mutual passion has helped me pursue my profession and energizes my work.
My backpack is my office, and knowing I can take it anywhere in the world to assist individuals to either grow their business or share their story is my dream.
