FINDING SUCCESS WHILE IN FILM SCHOOL
Luis Martinez offers a fantastic insight into what is possible for students when they combine their film career with passion with dedication. He discovered his interest in filming and video editing while in high school, and called F.I.R.S.T. Institute based on a teacher’s recommendation. About a month later, he was getting started in our Film and Video Production program and experiencing all that one of the top video production colleges in Florida has to offer!
He took full advantage F.I.R.S.T. Institute’s film school resources, scheduling extra sessions at the sound stage to practice with the equipment and working directly with his instructors to get the most out of his projects and prepare for his film career. When he ran into challenges editing his commercial and testimonial project, he knew he could call on his instructors for guidance, and as a result, he got the most important outcome of all: satisfied clients. As he says, the instructors at F.I.R.S.T. Institute will “be with you from start to end, and they’re always here to give you one-on-one help.”
A FANTASTIC FILM CAREER LINED UP AFTER GRADUATION
Following an official photo shoot with Alex Fatt, pioneer of Latin hip-hop, Luis was already booked to film for an international tour. After graduation, he will be filming events all over the world and getting behind the scenes footage for Alex Fatt’s upcoming reality series. He has also worked with reggae legend Junior Reid and Jimmy Kang, Vice President of Wu Tang Clan Management and CEO of Str8up Entertainment, alongside various other local directors and producers. This is what it’s all about, and we couldn’t be happier for Luis! He has shown a great initiative, a great hunger for knowledge, and a great attitude in all that he’s achieved so far, and we cannot wait to see what he’ll do next!
