Jaime Cardenas

San Francisco

Summary

My education at San Francisco State University provided me with the technical skills and creative foundation to thrive as a filmmaker, turning my ideas into projects I'm proud of. At City College, I gained a deep understanding of film history and developed an appreciation for classic films that have significantly influenced modern cinema. My passion for filmmaking began as an escape from the challenges of my environment. Aside from my interest in film, I have always been fond of being a part of the education system because of the teachers who shaped me. From having us volunteer at GLIDE to mentoring the classes below us, there was gratification in being someone people could look up to.
