  Established in 2009, OIFF is North County's Longest Running Competitive Showcase for the Cinematic Arts. Umbrella'd Under the Oceanside Cultural Arts Foundation, I Work to Lead the City of Oceanside's Cultural Push for Proper and Effective Cinema Representation and Education. As the 12th of 14 Newly Appointed Cultural Districts by the State of California, the Examination of Diversity, Human Rights and Creative Point of View are Among just a Few of the Thematic Concepts I Strive to Propel to the Forefront of North Coast San Diego's Colorful Artisan Backdrop. A Town that's Gone Through Many Changes Over it's Years, the Work that Screens Within Our Venues Should Reflect those Very Same Tales of Loyalty, Acceptance & Achievement in Spite of Harrowing Odds. This is Oceanside. Show less

Village News, Inc.

• Riverside County, CA

• Field Correspondent - News & Media

  • Mar 2015 - Feb 2016

  Was a primary videographer and video editor on call to capture news worthy events as such took place. Shooting my own b-roll/interviews & writing my own copy, I was considered a valuable and multi-faceted employee of said company as a whole. Reporting on each event individually for the online portion of the Valley News Publication, a strong grasp of modern trends and cultural comprehension was also necessary. Doing so, I was a face of weekly news in not just Temecula Valley, but Southwest Riverside County. Show less
