H I , I ’ M L U I S !
A talented film director & screenwriter with over five years of college experience and education. I’m scheduled to graduate in June from UC Riverside with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, Film, & Digital Production with an emphasis in Film Making. My time at UC Riverside has enabled me to put forth into effect my talents and capabilities as a filmmaker in the form of short films and filmmaking exercises. My desire is to implement all that I have learned from 5 years at UC Riverside into whichever job or internship opportunity befalls my way. I will do whatever it takes to become one of the greatest filmmakers to ever emerge on the modern scene.
