THIRD YEAR

We met Daniel when he interned with BAFTA in 2021. Daniel’s hero is the character of Carlos ‘Carlito’ Reyes from his favorite film Under the Same Moon. It’s Daniel’s dream to become a cinematographer, which is why he is hoping to study Film at Cal State Northridge, having made films at Valley Oaks Center for Enriched Studies in Sun Valley.  When he’s not at school, you can find Daniel getting tacos from Tacos Tijuana or exploring Angeles National Forest.
