Featured Alumni - Johnny Obando

On-Camera Film Acting Program

Recently, we were able to catch up with Miami Film School graduate, Jhonny Obando, to see what he's done since graduating.  Or more accurately, what he hasn't done.  Since graduating from MFS, Jhonny has gone on to write and direct 2 more short films, as well as produce and edit 2 others.  He's also found the time to win a few awards, namely "Best Short - Florida Focus" at the Miami International Film Festival, "Best Short of the Year" at the Miami Life Awards, and "Special Juror Mention" at the West Hollywood International Film Fest.
