Award-winning Director.
Writer.
Marilyn Manson fan.
With no genre to hold her back in film or novel, Sieanna has 20 short stories and 11 finished novels under her belt. Sieanna completed her first trilogy by 15.
She used to watch the History Channel and something about the way a turn of events is told made her want to write.
"I like leaving room for my readers and myself to use their imaginations. I don't want to write a story I'm not interested, so I leave some things to imagination. I like for them to figure them out".
When not writing, or behind a camera, Sieanna is on the field, managing The Varsity Ultimate Frisbee Rockets. She says she started as a way to get out of class but she fell in love with the sport and traveling with the team. It's a great thing to be trusted by athletes to take their stats. She alo plays for the Girls' Varsity Frisbee.
She's an SAT, which is a strange, but relieving experience, I’m not a teacher. Remembering freshman year with my SATs, I didn’t think i would be here. I taught my first class. They respect us and trust us. I’m always looking up to other people and it's crazy that someone could be looking up to me.
Q:Why do you write?
A: I started writing when I was 7 . My sister and my cousins would come over and write stories about each other. It became something that I loved because it was something that we could all do together.
I write for my future. I don't go to a happy home. I like to stay out and experience. I want to experience the world . I want to be this author, I want to be an amazing film director. When you search google, it shouldn’t be a line of men under famous directors. You can get me and female faces getting recognition. Like, 'Hey here’s this industry, with little to no respect for females, but here’s this woman it is possible'.
On Directing
Directing is a form of storytelling I can't write a book without imagining the scene or the frame.I want to put stories on screen.
Q: Do you feel empowered as a woman?
A: Naturally yes . Just because I;m a female. I can carry a life inside of me, that;s amazing.
By your peers:
In a way, I guess I feel I have a lot of influence. I’m known as the great writer or the filmmaker. I can uphold my name to my friends. I want people in the industry and in the world respect me that way my friends do.
By your Adults:
As naive as it sounds, I’ve considered myself a young adult for a while. I was always considered a weirdo because I was a virgin in 8th grade. It may sound pretentious, but I think I’m mature .I think I'm ready for a lot of things the world tells me I’m not. That’s what keeps me going, that’s what pushes me to be a better person, academically and personally.
What hopes do you have for the world?
A lot.... Peace of course, I don't respect war. One of my latest novels, one of the key concept, Pangea comes together and humans learn that they have to live together and live in unison.
Homophobia needs to end. I’m humansexual, there are other genders, and I love them all. Racism needs to end. Because I date a Caucasian male, I get a lot of shit for that. I get a lot of looks. Looks hurt. They make me angry. But I like making bigoted people angry.
Does feminism matter and if so, why?
Of course feminism matters. We’re not respected in industries. In music videos, women aren’t treated as fairly as men. It’s not just about women being treated right. It’s another hope I have for the world, for sexism to be eliminated. Too much hate, risen to fatality. Being gay is punishable by death in some countries. We’re divided by things we can’t help.
Q: What comes, first race or gender?
I don't think either comes first. You can’t respect origin before you respect how they identify with their body.
