Andrew P. Alderete Assistant to Dana Brunetti
|
Andrew graduated with a BA in Biology from Swarthmore College ('02) and worked in biotech and neuroscience at UPenn. By day, it was science and tech. But by night, it was art, film, music, and writing. Finally, he made a decision to pursue what he was most passionate about: movies. Thus, he packed his things, and left his career in science behind to persue his MFA degree at CalArts in Los Angeles. After graduation, Andrew worked at KNR Productions as a producer's assistant and then Universal Pictures in Feature Assets before taking the job as Dana's assistant. Andrew is obsessed with movies and soundtracks and continues to investigate the importance of sound and image and how they relate to each another within cinema. For fun, he co-owns 2m1 Records, and produces art films. His latest producing effort is Sacrament, a dance film scheduled to be released this summer. More cool stuff can be found on his website.

Paul Rowe Creative Assistant
|
Paul grew up as a bit of a black swan in the preppy, sports driven world of Baltimore private schools, early on trading in his lacrosse stick for an 8mm camera with which to create stop-motion claymation shorts and Pulp Fiction inspired action flicks. He studied fine arts in college, using that degree to become a cashier, essay grader, and bartender among other jobs, before moving to Chicago and finding himself enrolled in the inaugural class of an upstart graduate program for "digital cinema" at DePaul University. After studying various sides of the discipline for several years there, he forwent his degree conferral, opting to move to Los Angeles and start working in the industry. As a writer/director, film buff, and production hand, what excites him most about media content these days are the rapid advances in technology and the new avenues they create for storytelling.
