Director of Photography
At ten years old, her parents gave her a video camera and Dawn has been making film ever since. Even as a youth, she and her little friends would collaborate to create many narratives of various genre. As Dawn matured, her passion for filmmaking intensified. Dawn graduated from Florida Atlantic University in Communications/Film. She then graduated from The Los Angeles Film School in Directing/Editing, where she learned filmmaking from top industry professionals.
She is personal buddies with the highest echelon of teachers, professional producers, directors, business owners, writers, Hollywood players, Movers & Shakers, and industry pros. With a huge love for travel, Dawn took advantage of Florida Atlantic University's Study Abroad Program and lived in Florence, Italy for three months. She also visited and traveled about England, Spain, Paris, Costa Rica, and all over the USA. FAU's Italian Department still uses her video travelogues to promote to potential students. After she finished her education at FAU in Florida, she moved back to Hollywood (born in L.A.) to attend The Los Film School where she was immersed with like-minds, struggles, work, and creative inspiration that comes with making a film. Because she worked on many independent film sets in various capacities, she gathered her mental rolodex before she wrote and directed her first two shorts, shot on 16mm film, scored by the same people that write jingles for McDonald's, SAG casts, the works. She is on iMDB as 2nd A.D., and also created "The $ingle Girl's Guide to Travel" which exhibits her exciting and educational take on Florence, Venice, Paris and London.
When she returned to sunny, south Florida, she worked in Television at Platinum Broadcasting Company as a Production Coordinator, where she organized hundreds of Broadcast TV Productions, nationally and globally. She has also produced more than 100 commercials for TurnHere/The Yellow Pages websites, CitySearch, etc... She was a Featured Filmmaker on Spymac.com, written up in the first issue of WeMerge Magazine, nominated for The New Times Mastermind award 2009, and her event: the Auteur Explosion @ Cinema Paradiso won Best Art/Film/Music event in City Link Magazine 2009. She has also Directed many short films, won four Film Festivals, produces Corporate Commercials for ULS Media, Video-Journalism, Documentaries, Music Videos, Artist Profiles, Actor's Demo reels, Kung Fu Tournaments, Weddings, Live-Performances, and all sorts of special events. She also worked as South Florida's City Link Magazine / Metromix.com's Micro-Producer, Photographer, and Video Journalist for over two years. She is currently working on writing her first feature film, a chick flick, and has pre-production set in place.
