WHO ARE WE?
ROY NOWLIN JR - CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Roy Nowlin Jr. is an award winning cinematographer with a shooting style that is imbued with ingenuity and a sense of fun. Equally at home working in a studio environment and shooting guerilla style in the streets and subways of New York City, Roy is drawn to situations that encourage spontaneity and improvisation. "I have wanted to make films since I was 8 or 9 years old. I try to approach each project with the sense of wonder that led me to marvel at movies as a child."
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Nowlin first studied film production at the Millennium Film Workshop in Greenwich Village, NYC. Then, after collaborating with friend, Kaleel Mohammed, on several short scripts Roy enrolled at Brooklyn College majoring in Film Production. Since his enrollment Roy has held the title of cinematographer/ camera operator on at least a dozen projects. These consist of films, videos and live events. In May 2003 Roy received the Xeno Lights Cinematography Award for his work on 'Extreme Measures' a film by Hector Berrebi.
ERIC R. VELARDE - CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Eric R. Velarde, a Filipino-American filmmaker, began working in the film industry in 1996 as a Production Assistant for a low budget feature film "Buscando Un Sueño." The following year, Eric graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Television Production from Rutgers State University of New Jersey. He spent the next few years working different positions with the crew and production staff, with his goal to hone his directing prowess. In 2000, even with his previous acting experience, Eric was given the opportunity to join the Screen Actor's Guild. Having attained the understanding on the do's and don'ts of production, Eric went on to complete the Final Cut Pro Master class at Future Media Concepts in New York City & Boston in 2002. From there, he gained over five years of experience as an Editor, on both narratives and non-narratives. In 2004, Eric acted as the Co-Executive Producer for a low budget independent Cambodian-American film entitled 'Lovesick,' which was produced by Angelina Jolie. During his years, Eric has gone on to direct short films, such as 'The Meet Market,' 'N Affair,' and 'Peace On Earth.' Eric is a jack of all trades, which in turn empowers him to inspire and attain the vision from his crew and talent, as a good Director should.
Currently, his feature project entitled 'Girl Trouble' is part of a package of 8 films (Filmfund) seeking funding. For a great investment opportunity, feel free to contact Cary Woodworth (Producer) at cary213@gmail.com.
