About Cecile
I've always loved film and TV, and have been involved in the community in various production aspects. My longest stint was as a Production and Locations Coordinator in the New York film industry. I also successfully managed my own production company for 13 years while in New York.
Returning to live in Trinidad after several decades in the US, I've been discovering and engaging with the small but passionate film, TV, and arts community here. I've started back writing and am honing my directing chops with a short film in preparation for several indie features I have in mind.
I am passionate about history, culture, and the arts, travel, literature, all the good things in life.
