Gino Cazzali - Director, Writer, Producer, Storyteller

Gino Cazzali is a recent alumnus of CSUN's Film Production Program. A first gen American, he was born and raised in the Bay Area. Growing up, Gino would often watch films at his local theater, and through these frequent visits he developed a passion for storytelling at a young age. For eighteen years he has found joy in creating memories with friends and family, using those experiences to inspire stories. In his third year of high school he directed his first short film, kickstarting his path to becoming a filmmaker. Today, Gino has directed and produced many shorts, but "Union Avenue" is his first major production he's written and directed. Gino attributes his current success to the unwavering support of his friends and family. Motivated by their belief in him, he is determined to meet and exceed their expectations.
