Born and raised in Los Angeles, Carlos Dorsey is a writer, producer, and director who’s filmmaking embodies both his passion and his creativity. He was born to both African American and Latino parents who gave him the foundation which he prides himself on today. This is embodied in his outlook of the world; his view that the world is, as we make it. It is how we shape it. And it is through the camera’s lens that he expresses this vision. Carlos Dorsey attended the University of California at Berkeley for his undergraduate studies, where he double majored in Film and Psychology. From there he took on a number of film projects to learn more about the world of filmmaking. From PA to Producer, Carlos climbed the ladder to learn how to make a movie. After years of working for other people and learning how to take a film from development to the screen, he decided it was his time to step out on faith and begin his own production company, Insight Entertainment. His first 3 short films, FINAL BLUES, THE PACKAGE, and HAPPENSTANCE all received numerous awards after screening in over 60 film festivals world wide. Now a Graduate student at USC, Carlos continues to make films as a writer, director, or producer that convey passion and creativity. This is what he brings to the student films he has made at USC such as THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, NOT ON THE 1st DATE and PRISONERS, which are all on the film festival circuit. And he is proud to bring that same dedication to excellence to his latest project, BEFORE I WAKE.
