Keven Mema
New Rochelle,NY
Summary
I was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe, where my passion for media, particularly film and filmmaking, first took root. This early interest in storytelling through visual media eventually led me to pursue a career in the industry.
I have hands-on experience both behind the scenes and in post-production, having worked as an editor and on-set production assistant. These roles have given me a comprehensive understanding of the filmmaking process from inception to the final edit.
To further hone my skills and knowledge, I pursued my education at the New York Film Academy, where I graduated with distinction. During my time there, I earned the prestigious Dean's List recognition three times, underscoring my dedication to excellence in film studies.
My background reflects a deep commitment to the art of filmmaking and a strong foundation in the technical aspects of the industry. I am excited to bring my passion and expertise to the world of media and continue to contribute to the creation of compelling visual stories.
