As a child, award-winning filmmaker Robert Nazar Arjoyan was consumed by rock & roll and feature films, especially those directed by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg early in their careers. He began playing guitar at the age of 10, and started taking his filmmaking to a professional level at the age of 14, in the early 2000s. For his higher education, he studied cinema at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and since then has worked as a writer, producer, and director of shorts, commercials, and features in Los Angeles. He typically chooses to picture edit his own projects, and often writes original music as score and diegetic music for his films.
