The Time Is Now To Seize The Moment

LOS ANGELES - June 29, 2018 - PRLog -- Inspired by his first trip to the Cannes Film Festival, Actor and Stuntman Fernando Marrero returned to Los Angeles with an even greater appreciation for his craft and a renewed commitment to the pursuit of his dreams. With an episode of the ABC Family comedy Grown-ish, an appearance in Sandy Wexler, a film produced by Adam Sandler and Happy Madison Productions and several short films added to his credits already in 2018, his success in France reignited his passion and will carry him through the rest of the year.

"Appearing on the global stage at the 71st Festival de Cannes, the world's most prestigious film festival, was a phenomenal experience," comments Actor Fernando Marrero, who attended the Festival for the premiere of Black Lightning: Tobias's Revenge at the Cannes Short Film Corner. "I am eternally grateful to Choice Skinner for casting me in this project and for the subsequent international exposure, that has since opened my eyes to the possibilities in Hollywood and beyond."

A long way from his native Philadelphia and humble beginnings, Fernando Marrero, retired military veteran and MMA Fighter, embraced the beau chaos that is Cannes, capitalizing on his Festival experience. From the Short Film Corner premiere of Black Lightning: Tobias's Revenge, a fan film inspired by DC Comics, in which he starred and performed stunts and appearances on the official Cannes Film Festival le tapis rouge (red carpet) during la montée des marches to supporting independent inclusion efforts as the white carpet host at the 2018 Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase, Marrero walked confidently towards his destiny.

Registered in the Marché du Film as an actor and a producer, Fernando engaged with casting directors including Tracy "Twinkie" Byrd, international sales agents and distributors as well as fellow actors, directors and producers from around the world. As a partner in Loose Change Productions, networking, relationship building and global expansion are integral to the company's success and will prove valuable in the future. In the interim, Fernando, fueled by passion and inspired by his Cannes Film Festival experience, is in Los Angeles putting in work. He's honing his craft at Choice Skinner's Breaking Through Acting Workshop and tackling auditions, in anticipation of the moment when preparation meets opportunity.
