My Bio
I was born in the city of Tijuana, Mexico brought up by a working class family and no artistic background. I am a graduate of engineering school, with a post graduate degree in educative psychology, in other words, I'm a teacher. As I grew older I also discovered I had little talent for sports, and a keen sense of audio and visual art. When I turned 13 I discovered I loved music and became a mucisian learning drums, guitar and vocals at an early age. When I turned 19 I discovered the art of cinematography from a local production company in which I became an intern, and later on I was the head of editing. That was almost 11 years ago, and at this point I've edited over 20 feature films (4 for a U.S. production company), 5 music videos, 3 commercials, 2 informercials, and 1 short film. When I turned 21 I started getting into acting auditioning for a local television show for which I got a lead role. Unfortunately the show only ran for 8 episodes when it was canceled. After the show ended I pursued more in the acting world and took a theater course. Once I concluded my first theater course, I went on to acting in theater in 6 plays over the next two years, spanning in musicals, drama and comedy. Today theater is a must and a constant activity in my life. I have also had the opportunity of participating as an actor in such films as "Borderland", "Recien Cazado" (in Mexico), among others. In 2009 I embarked on a new challenge by making my debut as a film directory and went on to write my first film called "Eroneia". In a nutshell, this is a small taste of my life, and there's more to come.
Why are you supporting The 1 Second Film project?
I am an aspiring film maker and actor and I believe in the project, I think we should support this king of work. Plus, it brings us together.

Rodzap's Perfect Moment

If you had to choose a 'perfect moment' from your life to make into a one-second film, what would it be?

An expression of love between at least two loved ones.
