DIRECTORS BIO:


Director: Carlos Ferrer


Carlos Ferrer was born on July 16,1985 in New York City. Carlos displayed a passion for art at a young age. A strong visual learner, he created works of art through painting and spectacular computer generated drawings. At the age of eleven, Carlos discovered his love for filmmaking when his father allowed him to borrow the family video camera. Over three years of making home movies using his friends and family members as actors, Carlos demonstrated an amazing ability to tell stories in a truly original manner.
In 1999, at the age of 14, Carlos was ready for a more challenging project. Carlos co-wrote and directed Dreaming of You, a 30 minute romantic comedy about a high school nerd who finds his life takes a turn for the better after a visit to a tarot card reader.

A year later, influenced by the tragic events that were taking place in schools such as Columbine, he wrote, directed and edited America’s Nightmare, a 4 ½ minute cinematic tour de force about the disturbing subject of school shootings in America.

With each new project Carlos sought to exceed his own expectations. Carlos began sitting in on acting classes and put together a professional crew and a cast of seasoned actors for his next film. At age 16, he directed and filmed The Last Cappuccino, a 25 minute romantic drama about love, selfishness, betrayal, and passion.


In July of 2002, just two weeks before his 17th birthday, he met with the ultimate challenge of creating his first feature film. By that time Carlos’ developing career was already being followed by fans of his work and actors interested in taking a part in his new projects. His production company Cgffilms and producer Gil Ferrer managed to gather together a cast and crew of a hundred. Cgffilms began production of Scallop Pond, a 91 minute psychological thriller.
Details about the project can be found at the official web site for the film at www.ScallopPond.com.

While working hard as a high school junior preparing for his SAT’s, Carlos labored for more than a year editing and working in collaboration with the talented film composer David Majzlin. In November of 2003 the final cut of Scallop Pond was finally completed. Now Carlos is hoping that a film festival will pick up Scallop Pond. He is also seeking a distribution company to buy the distribution rights for his film.
Carlos is presently applying to college while working on three additional film projects to be completed over the next five years. His new projects include the CAGE, a Psychological thriller, The Garden, a mysterious romantic Fantasy Drama based on an idea by Gil Ferrer to be written by Carlos Ferrer. Finally, The Catalans a three hours epic film based on the true story of Carlos’ Catalan grandparents and their adventures during the Spanish civil war 1936-1939. The Catalans is currently being written first as a novel by Sabrina Ferrer and will be later adapted for the screen. The Catalans is to be shot on location in Spain in 2006 in collaboration with Cgffilms and producer as well as father Gil Ferrer.
