James Arrabito is an El Paso TX based writer, director, producer, and founder of the production company Centennial Films. His first feature, "Brooklyn Unemployed," won Best Narrative Feature at the Greenpoint Film Festival, and toured the United States festival circuit. While studying in NYC at Brooklyn College, his short film "We Can Get Them for You Wholesale" won the National Board of Review grant for best student film securing his membership in the organization. During this time he also interned for Ted Hope and Anne Carey at the production company This is That. His next projects are a recently completed feature film titled "I See a Darkness," and "The Virtuous" currently in development. His short film "Ghosts of Mexico" has won a full grant from the Museums and Cultural Affairs Department of El Paso (MCAD), and will begin shooting sometime in the near future.
