Check out Thespian's artistic directors!

Hello Thespians!  It's great to be back on the blog.  So much has been happening this past year.  Thespian Production has two awesome artistic directors to carry the creative vision forward along with including their own touch and style.  Walid Chaya is the artistic director for New York City, and Ernest Moreno is the artistic director for Florida.

I would like to introduce you to both of them.

Ernest Moreno - Florida

"With a Bachelor of Science in Film, Ej Moreno has experience with script writing in various formats from television; as seen in the television special Horror in HD to short films like The Tale of a Monster: Lilith and Pious Mary. An avid storyteller, EJ always has something brewing in his brain waiting to be turned from script to the screen. 
Also, EJ Moreno has directed and starred in any production he was lucky to run across during his youth. From the age of 10, he was filming short films and music videos with family members and it only grew as a passion when he decided at 21 to get his bachelors degree for film at Full Sail University. The most well known within the inner circle of his film trope is Pious Mary; the shock art low budget masterclass in the obscure. The biggest piece he has done to date is The Tale of a Monster: Lilith, which was produced as the final project at Full Sail. The story is a retelling of Frankenstein through a woman's point of view. 
To be noted as well, EJ attempt to have his hand firmly placed in the art department in any production he can be on. The artistic direction of film, television and music is a passion unlocked recently by him and he looks forward to working on more projects with the art team." (pic below)
