damián apunte

My life passion has always been to tell stories for the empowerment and betterment of the individual and communities alike. I’m drawn to humanitarian documentaries, coming of age stories, the sci-fi genre, and I also have a knack for commercial/marketing content.
I stated 4th Street Productions as a hub to create films that make you feel. It’s grown gracefully into a full service creative and commercial studio. Currently most our staff is poc, a mix of sexes, backgrounds, and I’ve had such a pleasure to be employing interns from the city college I used to attend. While building this company I also taught film at a charter school in Compton and a mental health center in Sherman oaks. Helping others grow their potential is something I will always give my energy too.
Currently working on a community wide feature in Long Beach, CA.
