Joaquin Foster

Joaquin Foster (Jan 11th 2006) got interested in the creative process from a young age, spending a large portion of his time either on set with his wardrobe stylist mother or in his father's family restaurant. From before he could write, Joaquin would come up with stories and dictate them to his family. Once he learned to spell, albeit poorly, he spent the bulk of his free time trying to write short stories and fantasy novels. This passion for storytelling shifted gears during his sophomore year of high school when he was introduced to an AFI-trained screenwriter (who has chosen to remain nameless) that showed him the ropes of the film industry, and later encouraged him to attend the Art Center College Of Design. Since then, Joaquin's sole ambition has been writing and directing for film and television in order to make entertaining and meaningful art. Upon turning eighteen, he got the words "Film First" tattooed on his wrist to emphasize his dedication to the craft. In a world consumed by mindless content and artificiality, Joaquin hopes to make movies that inspire discussion, bring people together, and have a meaningful impact on those who see it, all the while being entertaining.
