Desiree Flores is a soon to be CSUMB graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Cinematic arts and technology. She strives to create short films relating to mental health and fitness.
I decided to make my short documentary about long distance running because it’s an activity that I personally believe has benefits physically and mentally. For my short documentary I wanted this story to be about someone who I believe is the strongest athlete from my team at Hartnell College, Angel. He narrates his story while telling the audience how long distance running helped him.
