John Avino (Writer/Director) was born in Western New York. He attended SUNY Fredonia for Theatre and New York University for Film. John directed numerous theatrical productions in New York City including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ and Noel Coward’s “Tonight at 8:30” at FAPC Theatre, and “Morning, Noon and Night” on Theatre Row. He has also worked with the New York City Mayor’s office to produce public service and informational television spots.
