About 20 years ago I wanted to work in the television and film industry, but instead pursued an Environmental Studies degree at California State University, East Bay (Formerly CSU Hayward). From then I had worked in the field as an Open Space Planner, Environmental Activist Admin, City Planning Intern, and an Environmental Specialist. After spending 13 years in the latter of my career, I resigned and moved to Los Angeles.
During my time as an Environmental Specialist, I attended film school, Academy of Art University, where I completed a Masters in Fine Arts under the Motion Pictures and Television Department. My focus was Directing. One of the requirements to graduate was to complete a thesis project, a short film.
After three years of writing, producing and directing my short film, called Flapjack, I graduated and started submitting the film to various film festivals. As a result, the film was selected and screened in 16 film festivals, including Festival de Cannes Short Film Corner, and won four awards.
When I moved to Los Angeles, I started working in the capacity of a Production Assistant (i.e. art, camera, office, set, and truck), Locations, Grip and Electrician for various productions, such as web-series, features, shorts, and music videos.
Thank you for reading. I hope we can work together soon.
