About Me
MY BACKGROUND
Hello, my name is Hugo Padilla! I was part of the Digital Arts and Technology Academy (DATA), specifically the Digital Storytelling side. Being influenced by film at a young age enabled me to want to make influential content for the masses. I'm constantly seeking to challenge myself, reach my intellectual potential, and gain a vast amount of skills. With a passion and hunger for film, I have both the skill set and willpower to dive deep into the world of cinematography. As a self-motivated team player with excellent communication, I envision an exciting future in the industry.
