Anthony Gonzalez has yet to graduate from film school, yet he’s determined to put himself in the league of some of the best filmmakers of our time. Anthony Gonzalez has possessed a passion for the big screen since 12 years of age.
Born in the South Bronx 35 years ago, his life took a different path than most young aspiring filmmakers. Neighborhood drug dealers intrigued Anthony, which has inspired the creation of some of his documentaries.
Influenced by the likes of Robert Rodriquez, Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee, he knew it was time to live out his real passion and bring his dreams to life. Self-taught, Anthony partnered with child-hood friend Troy Reed and co-produced a documentary that was presented to HBO’s Urban Film Festival. This lead to them winning the 2003 Urban Film Festival Award for Best Documentary with their DVD, “Larry Davis Storyâ€.Although they went their separate ways, Anthony’s drive and hunger is just as apparent now as it was when he first started. He created Street Certified Distribution, becoming the top DVD distributor in the industry for urban movies. He admires both Jay-Z and 50 CENT, because of their strategic moves, street knowledge and business savvy. Anthony operates in a similar fashion and has managed to teach himself most film techniques just from watching others in that field.With one year of film school from NYU under his belt, Anthony is striving to continue molding his craft.Anthony was recently featured on the History Channel’s, “Gangland†series as a consultant, interviewed by Don Diva magazine, and was a guest on Hot 97, a top-rated New York radio station, regarding his current DVD- Frank Lucas Superfly. Anthony will be entering his works in all major film festivalsHELL UP IN EAST HARLEM (NEW TRAILER)
