Tomas Daniel Cortez is a current student at Southern Illinois University – Carbondale pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Cinematography with a minor in Advertisement from Chicago, IL.
Tomas is interested in searching for new, creative ways to tell stories through his work. He is interested in covering a wide variety of topics from cultural identities to nonfiction storytelling to advertisement. Through his education, he has been able to work on a number of projects that have widened his experience in film styles.
This film was created for my Film Production: Fiction/Non-Fiction Filmmaking class last semester. Throughout the semester, we learned about how to tell fact from fiction in filmmaking, and how to use the two interchangeably. I was inspired by satirical and comedic films and videos that use fiction to tell real stories.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped with this project!
