Биография
Film director from Germantown, Maryland. Trei always had a passion performing and organizing for school plays, bands, and chorus, but I zeroed in on American football. After two herniated disc, a torn ACL, and at least two concussions, Trei took that discipline, integrity, and endurance into his film career later in life. He was in Division 1 football programs at University of Alabama-Birmingham and Alabama A&M University. Hip Hop and music in general has also been large in his life. Trei performed and hosted hip hop events throughout the country until attending the Art Institute of Washington.
First taught for the "Gandhi Brigade," a Silver Spring, MD Non-Profit Organization with classes that teach PSA and socially conscious documentary production. This period of time also featured several music & kickstarter events he would host as Maestro of Ceremonies. Next, he spent years working on large budget film productions as a production assistant. Productions range from Netflix House of Cards, Jason Bourne, Black Lightning, Loving, Bad Moms Christmas, Ghostbusters, and several more. After obtaining an MFA in the Graduate Film & Television Program at Savannah College of Art & Design in Atlanta, Georgia, he instructed at two colleges. He produced films in Atlanta before establishing himself in Amsterdam.
"The type of projects I like to make are ones that genuinely feel like they can create discussion around an issue I care about. I enjoy coming-of age and idealistic romantic comedies though, science fiction is my favorite. The resourcefulness and problem-solving it takes to depict fantasy cinema is daunting, but it's the decisions based on character and conflict that make even the most primitive visual effects timeless. My favorite fantasy films vividly depict the hierarchy of existence within our world or Afro-futurist perspectives. Sci-fi creators are tasked to conceptualize future extremisms while understanding our past in order to submerge viewers inside the best and worst of our capabilities. This propels us to the next era. I love the excitement fellow science fiction fans display when we recognize each other and chat. My films are a fulfilling experience from development to exhibition for everyone. I love being responsible for everyone having a positive, fulfilling experience throughout their work day. These stories convey kindness to yourself, knowing yourself, believing in your uniqueness, and being good for goodness sake."
