MIGUEL
LEE
GAFFER/ASSISTANT EDITOR/ACTOR
I am Miguel Lee, a senior at CSU majoring in Media, Arts and Theater. I see myself working either behind and in front of the camera. It is something that piques my interest and I enjoy the work that is put into it. When I was a kid, I would always watch videos on how movies were made and be fascinated by it, so the opportunity to work on Contentment is an experience I will forever be grateful for. I want to dip my toe in and see what other projects are out there and gain more experience.
