In addition to writing and directing film, I run a company producing shows for Snapchat, and I run a boutique men’s shirt company, ‘Fear The Cowboy.’ We sell premium Acapulco shirts and flannels American-made from artisan textiles from Japan, Denmark, Ghana and India. I am currently directing commercials and writing my fourth feature script which will likely be my feature directing debut. I attended a UCLA program for screenwriting, wrote daily, and began producing and directing my own work. So after a year, I moved to LA and started working on set. In college, I took art and film classes, taught myself piano and most importantly, began writing and filmmaking.Īfter college I worked my sole 9-5 job and could not figure out why I was spending my time helping someone else pursue their dream. I always had a keen interest in the visual arts: painting and drawing followed by sculpture and ceramics, before working in metalwork, jewelry-making and blacksmithing. Like many, I grew up constantly making things. I pursue an artistic career because it is the most fulfilling path for me and I’m grateful I have that opportunity. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know? Alright, Win thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today.
