Conrad Craven

I am Conrad M. Craven, a writer, director and cinematographer from Houston Texas. My journey in film began in 2008 when I started shooting music videos for local artists. Later I received a B.S. in Digital media from The University of Houston and began creating content as the Creative Director of Phusion Platforms, an academic co-op program designed to help media students gain practical experience working in film and television. At this point of my career I was working full-time and making independent movies on the side. Most of my initial work in film was as an editor and cinematographer, but later I began writing, directing and producing. Writing screenplays became a cathartic practice that allowed me to explore topics I had strong opinions about in novel ways. It was the perfect marriage between my insatiable need to create and my curiosity about the human mind. My goal is to one day have my name mentioned in the same sentence as one of my many film idols and inspirations: Tarantino, Scorsese, Spielberg, Fincher, Kubrick, Cameron, Coogler, Levinson, Lee and Perry just to name a few.
