My name is Melissa Garza and I am a recent graduate student from Chapman University.  My degree is pending the completion of my thesis, which I hope to finish in the future.  Due to finances, I can no longer fund the project and need to look for help elsewhere to gather the money.  So show me the money!

I went to grad school and studied motion capture and VFX although I’m not formally trained as an animator, I look forward to working in the management of people involved in these fields.

Captured Melody is my thesis film.  Check it out.

I have also had the pleasure of directing some commercials as well as my own short film projects and I enjoy editing and feel good editing and directing really tells a story. 

My long term life goal is to be the first woman to receive an Academy Award for Best Direction.
