My name is Cyril Augustin. I'm an ACTOR, WRITER and DIRECTOR. My first love and passion has always been acting. Since I was a little kid I've always wanted to be an actor. I can still remember sitting in front of the tv, as a kid, and watching a Jackie Chan film (The Drunken master) and saying to my dad, "I wanna be just like him when I grow up." And now, I'm getting there. I mean, I'm not big and famous or anything, but I've been blessed to be able to be in a few great productions. People always ask me why do I want to be in a business that doesn't guarantee a steady paycheck and I tell them, "It's not about the money for me. It's about doing something that you love doing. About doing something that you are passionate about and that makes you happy." I also love entertaining people. Whether by making them laugh or by making them cry. As long as I know I've touched them, emotionally, through my work, then I'm happy. I've been acting, now, for about 8 years. Still fairly new, but through this business I met a lot of great and talented people. People who have helped me through the good and bad times as well as people who I've been able to help. I studied acting for years at the Zarro Acting Academy in Virginia, under an Academy Award winning director. I learned so much there and have been able to take what I've learned and pass it on to other aspiring actors. In 2004, I established Silent Edge Films. An independent film company that produces Hollywood like movies, combining the far Eastern style of filmmaking with the West coast style of filmmaking. I got into directing after I watched Balistic: Ecks vs Sever. For some reason I was astonished by the way the film was made. The acting, the sfx. That's when I began my one on one training with Academy Award winning director, Antonio Zarro at ZAA. I've worked on several films (shorts and features) for other directors before deciding to branch off on my own. I still assist other directors and producers from time to time. I'm a fan of all genres of films, but I am an even bigger fan of Action and Horror films. We are currently based in the Virginia area, but soon we will be relocating to California (or possibly New York) where we hope to continue the success of Silent Edge Films.
