International actor seeks to work with filmmakers worldwide

As an international actor I believe that one of the many truly important and necessary avenues for disseminating all manner of artistic works is a film festival. There are numerous festivals around the world, some more well-known than others, but all are equally important to local communities, artists in all fields, as well as societies and peoples worldwide.

Film festivals like the G.I. Film Festival (https://gifilmfestival.com/) and the Asian World Film Festival ( http://www.asianworldfilmfest.org/ ) are just two of the myriad of arenas that showcase the work of every speciality field in the industry - from filmmakers, actors, and stunt people to special effects, voiceover, foley artists and so many others.


Art truly does imitate life and the artistic works that film festivals showcase can become not only individual expressions but also powerful tools in bringing people together and focusing on the essential concerns that we all share rather than dividing us.

I want nothing more as an actor than to be a collaborative part of real, thought-provoking film and television works as well as intelligent and conscientious photographic works. Film festivals and their inherent production afford an actor such as myself
the chance to fulfill those dreams by allowing me to network with people in several areas of the industry. Whether I am in a particular film or part of a specific photographic campaign promoting said film festival, I am very happy to be a part of something that can potentially make the world a better place in the long run.

There is no better time than today to become involved in something so worthwhile and necessary!! Whether simply a local production or one with a long standing reputation and a wider scope, getting and being involved in festivals like the G.I. Film Festival and the Asian World Film festival is a wonderful way to contribute to positivity and positive change on a large, even international, scale.

I have worked both in the u.S. and here in Brazil and I hope to continue to do so while growing, reaching new heights and conquering different and/or more difficult challenges that allow me to become the best version of myself along the way!!



If there are any filmmakers reading this who believe I might be of use to them and their project, I would love to hear from them!!



Sincerely and respectfully,

Asian World Film Festival in Los Angeles 2016

Quality foreign films in Los Angeles October 24 - November 1, 2016!

Don't worry If you missed the chance to join the festivities last year at the Asian World Film Festival, because they have another exciting festival ready for the international film community this year too! Festivals like this are huge for indie filmmakers like myself because it gives us a chance to meet international filmmakers right here in our home state. Networking is one of the most important elements of entertainment business and the Asian World Film Festival is creating a place where all the right people can meet.

Mr. Georges Chamchoum (Executive & Program Director AWFF) is excited to connect the talented filmmakers of Asia with Hollywood! The hard work of his staff can truly be seen in the quality of their wonderful event. Take a moment to visit the website and learn more about the Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) 2016. This event is open for movie lovers, movie makers, family members and supporters of the Asian film community.

It was great to see the AWFF create an opportunity for international filmmakers to introduce 30 movies that were represented by 27 countries to a fresh Los Angeles audience. Films were submitted from Lebanon, Philippines, China, India, and many more countries throughout Asia. The entire staff at AWFF should be proud to have provided a platform that screened 17 Oscar nominated movies and 10 Golden Globe submissions. Wow, Great work! I know that's not an easy task to accomplish.

Asian World Film Festival 2016 will continue the celebration with the celebrities in Hollywood, California on October 24 - November 1 this year. They will be representing Asian cinema and allowing filmmakers from around the world to physically see what Hollywood is all about. Many filmmakers also take advantage of the professional seminars with industry experts that are offered throughout the festival. This is where the real connections are made for most independent filmmakers.

A special thank you to all of the sponsors that have invested their time and money into making an event like this happen for our creative community... This year as an indie producer, I'd like to see many more film schools, veterans in film, women in film & TV, and Hollywood organizations like the Society of Camera Operators get involved with the success and longevity of the Asian World Film Festival.

"Champion, recognize and unite through cinema."

The Asian World Film Festival is organized under Aitysh USA, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization.

Entrepreneur business quick tips - Leadership & Knowledge

This blog is a quick summary of a very informative "Indie Entrepreneur JAM session" that we hosted on July 31, 2015.  If you're in any stage of business, it's always good to hear from other people that share your same struggle.  We are a group of people that aim to empower business people worldwide, especially small business.

My personal take-away from each person that joined us on our Google+ Hangout.  This is an inside look at what Entrepreneurs go through.  We build teams and we build dreams!  Please feel free to contact us anytime with business questions...

QUICK TIPS:
(1)  Chris Hill - Chef - Entrepreneur

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tGdukh8pqg


*In business and in life, you need BALANCE.  If you are the artsy and crafty type, most likely you will need a "business type" other half to compliment your situation.  We tend to be close to people that are similar to ourselves, but sometimes for business this isn't the best choice.  Yin Yang.

(2)  USMC veteran - Edi Santos
Www.caligreenturf.com  http://Www.inspiremas.com 

*Invest in yourself by educating yourself. Read books, daily. You MUST have Organization and you MUST Manage your Expectations. How much work did you do, and what do you expect in return? Daily tasks, goals, objectives MUST be known to accomplish your ultimate vision.  Write it out.

(3)  John Duffy - Film Producer
IMDB - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0240485/

* "Question your beliefs" - This is hard to do at first, because your entire belief system is built with people that you trust.  This is very important for entrepreneurs to do because we need to stay aware of our always changing external environment.  You ALWAYS have a choice.  Think about EVERY option in every situation, so you will make better decisions.

(4)  Xavier Ybarra - Film Director

*Goal Setting - Draw 5 circles on a piece of Paper.  1.Main Goal  2.Yearly Goal  3.Monthly Goal  4.Weekly  5.Daily Goals - Write out your goals!  What do you want to have accomplished?  What is your deadline?  Is it realistic?  Take action.

(5)  U.S. Navy veteran- John Chang - Bush Pilot Marketing - Content Producer
https://www.facebook.com/bushpilotmarketing

*If you are an entrepreneur to "Make Money" it is NOT enough!  This journey is BEYOND THAT.  You must have a deep desire and passion to be in business.  Why do you do "what" you do?  Why should we care about your business?

(6)  U.S. Army veteran- George Ohan - International Entrepreneur
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/george-ohan-living-in-puerto-rico/31/820/1b8

*There is NO cavalry coming to save you.  It's not YOU against the world, it's you against YOU.  No self pity.  If not you, then who?  ONLY you can do what you do.  Nobody loves your dream as much as you do.  Get to work.
