- Derek Akira Fujitsubo. Indepedent Videographer/Musician with N2MUSIC TV Fresno, Ca.
Supporter and promoter of the arts. Got my start from taking Final Cut Pro class at Fresno City College. Interned at KVPT and went on to train extensively in Los Angeles under Warning Tv which was a portal for independent artists and entertainment. Obtained first hand experience on music video sets (Baby Bash)/Tv show production(Mike Sherman Show)/Modeling agencies/photo shoots(Uber Warning Models, LA Models)/Live concert and behind the scenes (KRS-ONE-Stop the violence movement/Baby Bash/Bayfest,Texas. Summer of Love 40th Anniversary)/Hollywood Red Carpet Events (LA Direct, Ed Hardy)..to name a few. I brought my experience and passion for film to my hometown, Fresno, where I work with a production team at n2music where I can be creative as I want to be with a great team to work with. As an artist myself, I support artists and video is the most effective way to reach your audience to promote your music/cause. My expertise is covering live music and events, but open to commercials/weddings/corporate events. I plan to keep producing high quality videos to represent Fresno and the arts to the fullest.
Live and Die for the Arts.

Gabriela Henriques said… - Hello!
I spoke with you a few months ago about possibly helping out with some of your projects over the summer (maybe an unpaid internship...?) I'm finally back from school and will be in town until September. Please let me know if there is anything I can do do help.

- Yeah! Haha I'm interested in all of it actually. My last day of school is June 12, so I would love to try and get involved in anything after that. Is there someone I should contact or are you my primary source?

- Hi!
I'm not sure if you saw what I posted on the Fresno Film Studio Project page but I was wondering if you had any possible summer internship opportunities available or if you had some suggestions on how to find one. I'm about to finish my first year of college as a communications major and my future goal is to work in the entertainment industry. I produced a CD that benefited the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians this past year and learned a lot from that experience.
