ResumoM y introduction to media came when I was 4 years old and began assisting my grandfather, who was a projectionist at a small New Mexican movie theater. The popular film Cinema Paradiso is an Italian version of my young life. I used to change reels or tell my grandfather when to change them. I saw hundreds of movies and was an extremely film-literate young person. However, I never thought that film was a medium with which I would ever be involved. I thought it was far beyond me. My commitment to the visual media started in the mid-1960s, during the Vietnam War, and continued into college. During the mid-1970s, I earned my Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Film School. During this same period, I moved to the predominately AfricanAmerican community of Leimert Park in Los Angeles. Leimert Park was at ground zero of the largest cultural uprising since the Civil War. My desire was to continue making films and become a viable part of the community.
