MY BIO

About Me

My name is Lazaro Rodriguez and I live in Flushing, Queens. The home of the New York Mets, not that I really watch baseball its just something I tell people when they ask where I live. I have been living in Flushing for a really long time, a lot of changes have occurred in the 17 years that I have lived here. The entire neighborhood now is overpopulated with banks, one store closes and one bank opens they pop up like zits. It was neighborhood that had a lot more variety of things to do as opposed to now. We had more department stores to go to like Woolworth and Caldor. I guess all these changes occurred around the summer of ’96. Change is bond to happen with time and I guess time caught up with my neighborhood. I currently go to LaGuardia Community College and majoring in Liberal Arts Media Studies,I guess the reason why i chose this major was because I want to make movies that inspire a generation than actually making a quick buck. I'am really into movies that are mainly from the 1980’s, movies like Platton(1986),Wall Street(1987), Less Than Zero (1987), and Bright Lights Big City(1988)The kind of films I would like to do films like Less Than Zero(1987) Wall Street (1987) or Bright Light, Big City(1987), all these films are really raw and explicit.

When I’m not in school I go to work, I work in an Italian restaurant in the city. I’m a busboy, its an ok job the perks I guess has to be that I always get to see movies or commercials being filmed. About three weeks ago they were filming 2 movies at the same time one of them was the Sex and The City Movie and another was a Kristen Dunst film. Last week I met Hype Williams he was filming a Dolce and Gabana commercial, it was really late it was around 1am in the morning. If anyone doesn’t know who that is he is a hip-hop music video director has worked with Jay-Z, P.Diddy, Biggie, Nas, Janet Jackson etc. He seemed like a nice guy but seeing as that he was really busy, I spent most of my time talking to his assistant Chazz. Hopefully one day I will be able to make movies that people that people will stop me and say thanks for making such a great film.
