Also known as: CheckMateVIP
I started Checkmate Films in January 2007. However the story of our company has deeper roots. During the turn of the millennium I was heavily involved in producing and managing local Hip-Hop artist in Colorado. Little did I know that while shooting artist concerts, studio sessions, shorts, and the daily hustle to gain exposure for their music; a deep love for the art of story-telling though the digital video realm was taking shape. In the year of 2004 I relocated to Southern California to expose myself to new opportunities and challenges. I began studying television production and AVID non-linear editing at Goldenwest College in Huntington Beach. While in school I started networking myself into this highly competitive, yet rewarding industry. Shortly after school I began an internship at Torrance Community Television (TCTV) in Torrance, California where I continued to work hard and hone my skills. Once I completed my internship I earned a position at Warning TV; a start-up viral television station where I worked as a studio manager, associate producer, and editor. After about a year I put a solid plan together and started Checkmate Films. My goal is to make motion pictures an accessible medium for those who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
