N E F T Y Q U I J A D A

I’m a Salvadoran-American born in Simi Valley and raised in Bakersfield, CA. I developed a passion for film making since I was a kid and I began to edit videos at the age of 13. As I grew older, I realize that there were various things in filmmaking that I had a huge passion about, ranging from acting, to screenwriting, to editing, and to directing.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Television and Film studies at California State University, Los Angeles. I have worked in different projects ranging from student film projects to a web series as a Director/Writer/Producer, and have worked as a Boom Operator or Gaffer on various projects. I have also shot and directed various music videos, most notably with artists such as LaynoProd, Russell Groovy, and Torrez Fez.

I’m also very experienced with working on Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Photoshop. Adobe After Effects, Adobe Illustrator, and also with Final Cut Pro.
