SVFS Features "Roth D. Rind"

Roth D. Rind is the original founder and CEO of SVFS. In 2004, Roth set off on an ambitious project to make a feature-length film titled "The Yearbook." Forming a small production company called "Dreams Studios" with Michael Floyd and Mathieu Berthet, he began stumbling through his first very intense experience as a director. The project was indeed very cheesy and amateur, but Roth learned a lot about being a director and the importance of a good team and crew.

In 2006, Roth interned for a production company (whose name cannot be distributed for legal purposes) as an assistant editor where he gained valuable knowledge in Final Cut Pro and how to work with producers.

After his experience with the production company Roth worked under the alias and username "mamasrookie" making experimental and very amateur short films learning the in's and out's of how to prepare for a feature-length.

Then, in 2007 Roth shut down Dreams Studios and came back with a whole new team and new mission for a studio: "To bring together film enthusiasts and students to create masterpieces and progress in film studies."

Now, Roth has directed many film shorts and has written several feature-length screenplays. His goal is to see SVFS bring more of the film industry and the arts to Northern California.

Sheldon Steere says, "Roth managed film sets with the utmost care. Very organized and professional, and always made film sets interesting and fun while still productive. Roth knew how to handle his crew and his actors separately and planned and organized funding and production with expertise. When faced with a lesser role than director, acting or helping on someone else's set, he has always been absolutely professional, getting into any character or role and not demeaning the project with a bad attitude or performance.”
