Full Disclosure
I had to walk out of Public Enemies. It's either terrible cinematography or I'm not ready for bald-faced HD video for a 1930's period piece.

About Me
- Roberto Quezada-Dardon
- Philadelphia, PA, United States
- After seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey I was hooked. A student of philosophy at Santa Clara University, I immediately transferred to UCLA for a degree in film criticism. Quite accidentally, I became a filmmaker and got involved with a movie that became a cult classic on my very first time out. An experience like that will take care you of you, professionally, for a long, long time, but it will also define you. The film was Phantasm. It launched my career as a lighting cameraman, gaffer, editor, and finally a producer. Along the way I dabbled at writing scripts and was invited to Sundance and Tribeca for a couple of screenplays they liked. My marriage to filmmaking was rocky, but it lasted 25 years and in that time I had brief affairs with other careers involving photography, architectural lighting, and Web sites. I made Planned Parenthood's and Amnesty International's first professional Web sites. I finally bailed on making Web sites and movies altogether and returned to my first loves which are journalism and photography.
