A first generation American from a Caribbean background, Rashad Frett was taught from a young age to work hard for his goals. He was always fascinated in the arts but started pursuing it seriously after joining the U.S. Army. Experiencing 9/11 firsthand when his Army unit was sent to NYC to help with rescue/ evacuation, Frett wanted to make a positive impact on society. Telling stories through the power of the media became his passion. He is currently an MFA Candidate at NYU Tisch and is a recipient of the 2018-19 BAFTA-HBO scholarship and the Martin Scorsese Young Filmmakers scholarship. Additionally Frett is a Cinematographer with work that has screened in SXSW, LA Film Festival, and Urban Word Film Festival.
