Born in New Orleans, Louisiana USA. I'm currently located in NW London, My parents were mestizo/parda, from British Honduras and Republic of Honduras in Central America. They moved to the US before my brothers and I were born. I was taught to do my best, in whatever - nothing half ass.  Writing and telling stories for entertainment, with an underlying narrative based on values in order to build a better knowledge, understanding, compassion and enlightenment for a better global community, whilst we live in a system of polarity, acceptance is key to our existence radical action is key to our transcendence.  I earned a degree in applied science and worked in commercial and residential interior design and architecture, for many years. A great deal of my work in that field required technical writing for building specifications and construction. I have written and lectured on self-help topics based on practical life experience.

What got you interested in filmmaking? It was a pleasant, late winter morning with a gentle breeze. Not the kind that produces spitting rain or camouflages the impending gusts that will soon carry your breath away. No, it was a gentle caress in the early morning which gave me hope that spring will arrive early this year as rarely happens, in England. But, on Monday, 28th March 2011 at Waterloo Rail Station, I was sat waiting for a train or better yet, for my new life my own spring to begin. Where pent-up energy awaits the sun's return, to explode into an amazing thing. When I got to Ascot Racecourse, I looked around and walked onto the set of a major motion picture the first time I had ever been. Not as a passerby or casual observer, but as an active participant (in a bit part opposite an Oscar-nominated and winner, as well as an Academy Award-winning director)  I knew that in this world, magic is made.

To pay the rent, I work in the following fields:  commercial modelling, feature film and television, music video and adverts as a supporting artist. I've also done work as a portrait photographer, photographer's assistant, photo-stylist, portrait photography & fine art model and costumer. Additionally, worked as a clothing and home fashions designer, machinist and ironworks designer and finisher. Having worked in these various creative fields, helps me understand the process and complexities of creativity, design and production. Please have a look at some of the work I've completed and those undergoing development. Cynthia
