FAVORITE FILM
Too many to love

FAVORITE GENRE
I am a fan of all genres and hope to one day make a film in every genre at least once. But I am most attracted to the Action/Adventure and Horror genres. They excite me.

INSPIRATION
Spielberg for his storytelling.
Michael Bay/David Fincher/Ridley & Tony Scott/Brian De Palma for their kick ass visual styles.
Robert Rodriguez for his ability to do everything and not kill himself.
John Williams/Hans Zimmer/James Horner for the moving music.
Jerry Bruckheimer for his uber-producing abilities.

ANGEL ACEVEDO

CONTACT: N/A

Angel L. Acevedo III was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 26, 1982. His father was an officer in the Army, so he spent his life moving from place to place across the United States, and even Europe as an army brat. Accustomed to change as he was, something that was constant in his life has movies.

As Angel grew older, his passion for film only grew greater as he learned more about the process of filmmaking, or "magic process," by watching Hollywood FX Masters and other behind-the-scenes programs. He wanted to create aliens and monsters or be one of those guys who blew stuff up. When he was a sophomore in high school, he wanted to go to the root of filmmaking and become a screenwriter. Ultimately, Angel attended Hofstra University to become a film director and earned a Bachelor's degree in Film Studies and Production. He graduated with four short films under his belt, an award for Best Screenplay for his senior thesis, Cheesecake, and an award for "Most Outstanding Film Department Senior."

Post-graduation, Angel finds himself with a plethora of friends and colleagues whom he continues to collaborate with in independent film production in New York City. He is also a co-founder of Ragtag Productions based out of his Queens apartment. Angel currently works full-time as a Production Assistant at Brooklyn Community Access Television.
