Writing for Film & Television

Having recently graduated from TFS’ acting program I’ve had the opportunity to quickly diverse myself into the entertainment industry. Although my education was accomplished during the pandemic, I’m very thankful for the experiences I’ve had and people I met both online and in person. TFS has a wonderful faculty all of which are actual working professionals, which has been a highlight of my education. They’ve taught me various ways to kickstart my career and I’m thankful to have been exposed to so many different approaches. If you’re looking for a fast paced, hands-on experience that will give you a taste for everything off and on screen, I’d recommend this program to anyone ready to pursue their passion. It goes without saying that if you’re willing to look and work for it a hand full of opportunities will be presented to you. I’ve had the pleasure to recently stage manage TFS first live performance since this pandemic, which showcased Term 5 acting students at the Papermill theatre, “The Thirty-Nine Steps” Directed by Jack Grinhaus.

I had the chance to attend TFS from 2018 to 2019, in Film Production. I've enjoyed the entirety of the syllabus, complete and multidimensional. I was able to not only sharpen my creative intuitions, but also to have a more exact sense as to how to deploy them more effectively in the context of a large-scale production. There, I was given the opportunity to flourish not only as a cinephile, but also as a someone with the necessary toolkit to be an effective part of the industry.

I'm now working as a producer for a production company, three years (and a pandemic) after my graduation, and I still have deep connections with some of my professors, most notably Michaelangelo Masangkay, who I still call to this day for questions, references and advices.
