I graduated Cal State University Long Beach in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in Film and Electronic Media. I've created short films, music videos, and protest videos spanning from the years 1999 to 2008. During my studies of the media in my classes, and on my own, I felt betrayed in a sense by it's censorship and outright social constructions. The television populace has succumbed to the messages portrayed by the media and has lost the ability to critically think outside of the (television) box. The biggest psychologically television induced terror event was the attacks on the world trade center on September 11th 2001. As the terror event unfolded in New York, Americans and the rest of the world were glued to their television sets as the twin towers were exploded, in true Hollywood fashion, on live tv. We were told within an hour that the attacks were orchestrated by a cave dwelling terrorist named Osama Bin Laden. Without any proper investigations the public was told about the conspiracy theory that Arab terrorists hijacked planes to use as missiles to take down the towers and attack the Pentagon. Due to our inability to critically evaluate, we have taken this theory as factual, and placed a label of conspiracy theory on any other possibility. Fortunately for humanity, the internet has completely revolutionized the transportation of information. Youtube.com was created in 2005 in which personal videos are able to reach an audience of whoever would like to see. This effectively destroyed the gatekeepers of information that resided on the television. My subsequent search for truth has transformed my life.

The first internet documentary that changed my perspective on the events of 911 was Loose Change 2nd edition by the end of 2005. Thanks to the internet as being a library of information, the information contained in this documentary destroyed the governments version of the events of 911. This critical event would change my life indefinitely in the coming years. I burned DVD copies of this movie and gave it to every possible person I could at the time. A wave of consciousness resided in everyone I presented this documentary to. I also stopped watching television on my own accord starting the Summer of 2006. I started my protesting career a few months later (after a year of research into the corruption of the United States government). I organized my first protest at Cal State Long Beach on October 5th, 2006. We held up signs and I talked to classes about the prisoner abuses done by our military. I sat outside of the bookstore on campus every Wednesday afterwards to protest the Bush Administration for the rest of the year. Spring 2007 would be my graduating year at Cal State Long Beach, and I received an internship at Technicolor. This destroyed my free time, and I was unable to protest at school any longer as I was always working. However, I would continue to research. By Summer 2007 I joined the 911 truth group in Los Angeles to help bring awareness of the 911 issues to Southern California communities. My first 911 protest was in June 11, 2007 in front of Fox Studios in Los Angeles. I would protest with them for the next year on every 11th of the month. This group would later splinter off into the WEARECHANGE LA after Bill Maher's 911 infiltration episode. By September 11th, 2007 I would travel to New York to protest the cover-up of the 911 attacks at ground zero. I then went to Washington DC for a national anti-war protest at the capital to get out of the Middle East. There were 500,000 protesters, no mainstream media reports. Jeremy Rothe-Kushel and I would hand deliver information on 911 personally to hundreds senators and congressmen offices. By the time I got back to Technicolor in Burbank, Ca, I would continue my research into the hidden history of the world. For the next six months I would research daily for 8 hours and continue protesting every 11th of the month. By March 2008 I was fed up by the corporate world of Technicolor and quite my office job. The following school day at Cal State Long Beach I began protesting daily.

The next phase of my life has been the most extraordinary. Researching this crazy world can lead to depression. It's not the most joyous thing to share with people that their own government likes to murder it's own citizens for it's own personal gains. While it is important to raise consciousness on this negativity, my emotional state was dampened by the enourmarity of the problem antics of our society. I diagnosed television as being the main conspirator of forming this matrix like trance our society has become. The government and the media use fear to control the population. Thus I started holding a sign that said "Love Everyone". The back of the sign I added, "Turn off your TV!". Standing there with this sign I would often think of what else I can add. While protesting these past few years I would often put peace signs on my face, so I decided to offer "free face painting". I fell in love with my new hobby. I had never painted much before, but I felt a need to spread peace and love through face painting. I would often bring my protest DVD's to spread knowledge as well.

My creative outlet through film was dismantled through my studies on how television has captured the lives of it's abusers. I have a deep respect for the internet as a true source of censor less media, but I lost a lot of passion for the electronic medium as a whole. I stopped watching television as of 2 years by then. 2008 would be my reignition of my artistry in the form of organic art, painting. By the semester end in 2008, I didn't have anyone to paint on anymore, so I started my first paintings on canvas that summer. Summer 2008 was also the first time I went to the infamous Burning Man Arts Festival in Nevada by myself. This event completely radicalized my mind on how a society can be...free without judgments. The art at this festival completely blew my mind and I have been inspired ever since. The dynamical creative human spirit is very much awakened at this place and will break down many of today's social norms. After coming back to the "default world" I made it back to Cal State Long Beach for more face and canvas painting, which I have been doing ever since. I have been making new art every day as a part of the "Make Art Not War" campaign. As long as we are in a state of war, I will continue to help create beauty in the face of my government's destructive personality.
