growing up I was heavily exposed to the arts. My grandfather worked as a publicist for MGM for several years and eventually opened up a business called "Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers". This business was eventually passed down to my father. Much like my grandfather and father, I have a deep appreciation for art. I have always viewed filmmaking as an extension of Art. After the passing of both my grandfather and father at a young age, I have decided that I wanted to carry on the Altermann name through the storytelling of art. Over the last four years I am completed several awarded winning short films and will being attending Chapman University to pursue a BFA in Film and Television.
