A self-described “professional multitasker,” Jon-Carlos brings a wide knowledge of all film departments - and an even wider smile - to his role as the Film MA lead at Catalyst. “I hope to inspire and challenge the student filmmakers to first look within, and then without,” he says, “for the inspiration and determination necessary to not only finish their projects, but to also continue the momentum that will lead them into their chosen careers.”
