Bio

Growing up, my favorite experience was seeing the joy and happiness that movies did for everyone in the Theater. Despite it being the new age, and streaming services like HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. are making more of an influence; that doesn't mean the same magic of entertainment isn't there. The ultimate goal for my career is to continue to bring all types of emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and more to movies and television shows, while also giving light to new topics in different ways than what traditional film creates.

Educational Background

What I’ve Learned

September 2020 - Present

BFA New York Film Academy

The New York Film Academy was founded on the philosophy that "learning by doing" combined with best industry practices is more valuable than years of theoretical study for filmmakers and actors. This educational model allows students to achieve more in less time than at all other film or acting schools in the world.

September 2016 - June 2020

HSDG Kamiak High School

Kamiak High School graduate

September 2017 - June 2020

College in High School, Everett Community College

College in High School was a great program that helped me get college credit in my classes. I took two years of Spanish and two years of careers in education.

Teen camper, New York Film Academy

Before I attended the BFA course in the New York Film Academy, they had high school summer camps for a week long term. During this course you learn all the basics of filmmaking.

My Skills

My High School Visual Communications teacher always told his students "There is always a new skill to learn, and those who think they've learned everything have already failed". This philosophy has taken me far in my filmmaking development. I have many skills, but at the same time I have much to learn.

Producing

Producing for film and television is a complex but necessary task to do in order to complete the project. A Majority of films that i've worked on, I've been a part of the pre production producing process. Getting permits, hiring crew, and casting actors are all a part of what I do as a producer.

Lighting

A video with out good lighting isn't a video with good visual appeal. Lighting is something that I've been working on for a while, and a skill i've mostly self taught myself until I reached college.
