Director Biography - Joseph Tobon

My name is Joseph Tobon. I am currently a student at the New York Film Academy pursuing a BFA in Filmmaking. I was in the US Navy for five and a half years. Three years in to my contract I knew that I wanted to be a filmmaker. Once I separated in November of 2020, I began the application process to attend NYFA on the New York campus. This short is the first major film that I have written, produced, directed, and edited.
