Chad H.

Chad has always been into the arts and computers. At age 12, he began self-teaching himself Adobe Photoshop. By age 16, he was dual-enrolled at the local technical institute into Graphic Design classes while finishing his High School Diploma. Working on one of his video projects in his final year, he realized how much he loved working with video. Thus, led him out to Phoenix, Arizona upon graduating high school to attend the University of Advancing Technology, under the tutelage of Paul DeNigris. While there, he helped create an all green screen and his first short film, “Fallout,” where he served as Producer, 1st Assistant Director, Editor, Visual Effects Artist, and Sound Editor. “Fallout” also earned him his first major awards. Such awards as Best Editing, Best Arizona Short, and the Award of Excellence from several Film Festivals in Los Angeles and Phoenix and made him and his team a semi-finalist at the 2011 Adobe Design Achievement Awards in Taiwan. He was recruited to serve as Lead Editor for the Phoenix Film Festival's 10th Year Anniversary that same year. After he moved back to Florida, he jumped on several independent projects, including his recent film, “Anti-PainKillers” (2013).
