DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY:
In middle school, due to his passion for creative storytelling, Raymond was asked by the faculty to join a video production program. His passion was married to its medium and from then on he dedicated himself to the art of visual storytelling. In his junior year of high school and with an extremely modest budget he had saved over the previous summer as a door-to-door salesman, Raymond wrote, directed, and produced his first feature length film featuring a SAG cast. After high school, he went on to Orange Coast College where he studied film and video but he had his heart set on the film school at Chapman University. After two years at Orange Coast College, Raymond earned admittance to the prestigious Chapman Film School. Since high school, Raymond's films have earned numerous awards and honors, as well as being featured and showcased at many festivals and special events. In addition to international awards and honors, his previous film was considered in the regional finals of the student Academy Awards of 2009.

Raymond has worked independently as a filmmaker and creative consultant for over 6 years including a period of time in which he worked with the Fire Department to train them on effective and safe tactics in conducting operations through film and video.
