"I am a filmmaker dedicated to the advancement of Caribbean cinema…” - Damian Marcano

Damian Marcano moved to the USA from Trinidad’s Morvant/Laventille section in east Port-of-Spain when he was 12 years old. Dedicated to becoming a doctor, he studied medicine at Ohio State University. But the arts consumed him and he instead became a web designer and programmer, and eventually a filmmaker. GOD LOVES THE FIGHTER is his first feature film after his short film THE LITTLE BOY AND THE BALL (2011). GLTF won three prizes at the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival including the audience prize, and the Yellow Robin Award at Curaçao Int’l Film Festival Rotterdam.
