ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS

Ray Prado D89

Raymond Prado D89 has worked as a Storyboard Artist and 2nd Unit Director for over two decades on over 50 film and television projects. He has collaborated with directors such as Taylor Hackford, Walter Hill, John Woo, Francis Lawrence, Errol Morris, and Steven Spielberg. With his diverse career, Raymond has been involved in the visual conception for every film genre imaginable. Raymond was Taylor Hackford’s Second Unit Director on the Oscar-Nominated “Ray” and most recently, a couple of TV Pilots that will never see the light of day. What a business!

New releases coming up include the documentary "Separated" to be aired on MSNBC this December, "Fantastic Four: First Steps" for Marvel, and "Stranger Things: Season Five" for Netflix. Raymond studied Art History and Fine Arts at Dartmouth College where he also played what appeared to be football.
