🎥 Primary Production Role: Voice Actor for Non Broadcast Projects, Commercials, Video Games, Animation, & Dubbing.

ℹ️ Background:
Some of my most prominent clients include: Mattel Toys, Amazon, Popeyes, Texas Army National Guard, The Smithsonian, & The Farmer’s Dog.

🎥 Why Production?
Voice acting has fascinated me since I was a kid! Its demanding, but creatively rewarding.

🔥 Favorite Projects:
Games such as Ascendant & Holy Shoot really challenge my creative limits. I’m really proud of my Memphis P.D. recruitment ad got over a million views. And I’m the training guide for Truist Bank customer service onboarding!

🌵🎬 Why Film in Arizona?
I’ve known & interacted with Arizona talent (homegrown and transplants) since I moved here over 20 years ago! I truly see it as a haven for creatives in every sector – from interactive media to stage and screen.

Grant Writing for Filmmakers presented by and
Wednesday, May 14 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Are you a local filmmaker whose quest for funding is akin to living in a Waiting for Godot-like void of existentialism?

Then be sure to join us on May 14th from 6pm to 7pm for a free talk on grant writing at the Catalyst Creative Collective (CCC) taught by Southern Arizona Film Society grant writer and director Francisco J. Landin Jr.

He’ll discuss crafting compelling proposals, identifying appropriate grant opportunities, and creating a persuasive narrative to highlight the project’s value.

CCC is located in the heart of Tucson Mall (4500 N Oracle Rd, Suite 110, Tucson, AZ 85705) on the lower lever between the former Sears and the current Dillard’s spaces.

The closest entrance is between Sears and JC Penney.

This event will be followed by our monthly mixer from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, upstairs at the Short Rest Tavern located inside Tucson Games and Gadgets! See you then!
