About the Producer
Pablo Tamarin is a 3rd year in the Columbia Film MFA directing concentration and a New York City native. Before coming to Columbia (and while at Columbia) he worked as a Special Effects Technician on Saturday Night Live, John Oliver, Project Runway, The Materialists and countless other projects. Through his many years working in New York City’s film and television industry, his network has leant itself to producing films as well as directing them. His love for film has led him into immense student loan debt, but he hopes it will pay off!
