Introduction for Org Comm

1. Jerry Rafael
One of the last of the Unicorn

2. One of the last Production Majors at
CTX
Since the Comm department removed the
Production concentration I am one of the
few surviving members last time I check
there were 3 total on campus. I got to walk
in December but am missing a couple
credits to officially graduate! So I still get to
be a Production Unicorn.

3. My Family
I have 1 brother who actually lives with
me here in austin (how we haven’t killed
each other idk)
My parents still live in my hometown of
Belton in the same house that I grew up
in. It’s actually right next to Concordia rival

4. Austin Baby!!
I lived in Austin since 2011 so I’ve earned
my austinite stripes. I love everything about
austin, yes even the traffic which I use to
listen to podcast.
I don’t like apt hunting which I’m currently
having to do but here’s hoping I find a killer
place.

5. Favorite Music (cant pick here is a bunch)

6. Movies
As a production major I can/have spent hours talking about film. One of my favorite directors
is Wes Anderson a local legend who has a very unique way of doing things. In this particular
scene below it’s all about symmetry but it is only one of a few examples of Wes
Andersonism you can see in his films.

7. Travel
Life is more interesting when you
travel. My family is originally from
Mexico and I was fortunate enough
that most years we were able to
head down south of the border at
least once a year generally around
Christmas. As a Filmmaker I hope to
do a lot more traveling. Including
going to Japan in the near Future.

8. Goals for this class
I am currently on the editing team at Bright Star Production where I was previously office
manager so my goal in this class would be to learn the skills I need to communicate better as
well as how to manage a team as I become a Director on film sets.

9. The Future
I plan on taking my production
degree and be produce and direct
film. In the short term (within a
year) I hope to finish a
documentary that Brightstar is
working on and be able to go to
the Telluride Film Festival with it.
