## Career

### Filmmaking

Jadden Couture's fascination with filmmaking sparked at the tender age of 6 when he discovered a passion for creating films with a focus on childhood themes.

By the time he turned 13, Jadden's interest in merely watching movies and TV was lost, leading him to keep his own television turned off for an extended period. During this time, he delved into other creative pursuits, fostering a unique perspective on storytelling.

At the age of 16, Jadden's enthusiasm for films was reignited, but with a newfound appreciation for those that held elements of inspiration, such as musical, magical, and action-oriented genres. This shift in taste reflected his evolving artistic sensibilities.

Now, at 17, Jadden has not only become a fervent fan of films but has also envisioned himself creating impactful and innovative cinematic experiences. However, recognizing the importance of a solid foundation, he is wisely contemplating starting at the beginning, laying the groundwork before embarking on the journey to craft great films. This thoughtful approach reflects Jadden's commitment to honing his skills and storytelling prowess as he prepares to contribute his unique voice to the world of filmmaking.

## Personal Life

Jadden Couture's family dynamic is composed of his mother, born in the 1980s, his older sister, born four years prior to 2007, his grandmother from the 1960s, and his father, born in the late 1970s.

Throughout his early years, Jadden and his family experienced various relocations, moving from Gibsons to places in Burnaby, such as Chaffey Ave and Stride Place, before settling in the city of Mission.

Before 2019, Jadden's mother played a central role in caring for him and his sister. Tragically, she passed away in the hospital on a Monday in June of that year. Two days before her passing, an officer from The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) informed Jadden that his mother needed to go to the hospital due to illness. Following her untimely death, his father took on the responsibility of caring for Jadden and his sister.

Presently, Jadden spends a significant portion of his time at home, primarily in his room, where he engages in personal activities such as planning his own projects, watching YouTube videos, and listening to music. On weekends, when his sister and father are out, he takes on the responsibility of looking after the house by staying in his room with the door closed and locked, reflecting a need for personal space and introspection in the wake of significant family changes.
