Interview by Rob Battista

Brian Baldomero: (Director, editor) By: Rob Battista

Shooing my another feature in October, its going to be an experimental film and will take about 16 months in postproductions.

Can you briefly define your job to me?

Working for full tilt poker as a video editor, hang out with pros and learn poker and edit videos for full tilt poker. Always trying to better myself and I do only editing. Side Job is to make features and I just started working on my 2ed feature that’s showing on its first film festival tonight. I was the Director and assistant editor and co wrote. I want to keep it in festivals and if it doesn’t get picked up I will release it online.
2. How did you get started in the business?

Started with school and did my thing and staying in school saved my money. Eventually got a job with Full tilt. Then I started working with my friend who was writer and he started to producer my films that I’m making. Networking with a lot of the people in the industry helps and increasing the people your friends with opens a lot of doors.
3. How do you tell someone over you (your boss) that you can't accomplish an assigned task?

That it’s impossible; it will sacrifice the quality if I don’t have enough time. If they want something perfect I need more time. Always be honest and say I can’t get it done and try to buy more time. Always
4. Do you have any advice for a media student starting out?

Always keep working, whatever you’re doing if your making shorts keep making shorts. Your going to always run into people that make movies every weekend. There is no time put into it. You need to take your time, clear your mind and then start working on a project.
