A little bit about me.....My first Post.

Hi! My name is Domingo Vara. I am an aspiring independent filmmaker, and have created this blog to intorduce you to my passion - filmmaking. I invite you to check out the blog - review my most recent work, "Between Stories", and follow my filmmaking career.

Here is a little bit about me..... Ten years ago, I left my hometown of San Antonio, Texas and came to Hollywood. As a struggling actor, I dropped in and out of college. While studying acting, I became intrigued with the creative process that took place behind the camera. After a few years, I made the decision to pursue a formal education in filmmaking. I took a huge leap of faith, moved to New York and applied to the film school at CUNY’s City College in Harlem. For three years, I laid the foundation for my future. Following my graduation, I was offered a job back in my hometown, producing commercials for the largest Hispanic-advertising agency in the country. After two years of learning the producing aspect of filmmaking, my beautiful bride and I decided to move back to Los Angeles to further pursue our careers as actors/filmmakers. I continued to produce television and radio commercials from 1997 to 2000 on a freelance basis. In the spring of 2000, I decided it was time to return to filmmaking.
