Guillermo Arcaya

Growing up in Venezuela, a country where the political and social situation is constantly changing Guillermo Arcaya developed his technique by watching Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange". The violence portrayed in that film, and the psychological reaction due to the director's vision made Guillermo realize the powerful tool filmmakers had; sending a message that hopefully impacts life as we know it. Nowadays films rely too much on trending and technology rather than deep and meaningful stories to create emotions. That's the reason why his work has a huge influence from the 1930s, 40s & 50s. Moreover, as a musician, Guillermo became interested in music videos, as a place where he can combine narrative stories with visual freedom that some films lack. Pursuing his BFA in Motion Pictures & Television at the Academy of Art University led him to a freelancing career in the film industry working for BBC, Snippies, and Canal Futura in Brazil among others. His desire for growing in this hyper-competitive business caused him to create Trickshot Productions, an independent film company based in the Bay Area and Miami Beach to specialize in creating Films and Music Videos. Guillermo is currently working on his feature film debut.
