Robert Carrera is a film writer, director, actor and producer. Raised in the East Bay Area of California, he found his calling for filmmaking at a very young age.
He studied at the New York Film Academy, earning top marks, before continuing his education at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where he quickly earned acclaim among his peers and mentors.
Robert has been making films for more than ten years, and has created a dream team of people he frequently works with, among whom is Matthew Gatsos, who scores most of his films. Known for incorporating alternate reality fantasies in the midst of very serious realities, his stories have a way of captivating the audience and making them feel invested in his characters.
