BIOGRAPHY

ROHAN FRANCIS

Rohan Francis was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in the Los Angeles area since the age of one. As a youth, Rohan participated in team sports. He loved basketball, and dreamed of playing in the NBA like his favorite ball players Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson. He saw basketball as art in motion. He and friends often recorded themselves playing basketball. Rohan would then edit the highlight footage to music using two VCRs. Remember those things? While in high school, he enrolled in a film/tv course where he wrote, directed, and starred in two short film projects. It was at that time he began thinking of a future in filmmaking. After high school, he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Film/Video at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA.

After returning home to Los Angeles, Rohan got his start in the film industry as a Digital Media Coordinator/Promo trailer spot editor for an indie film/tv distribution company. He also freelanced as a filmmaker/editor. In a life changing move, he decided it was time to complete his training by enrolling to USC’s School of Cinematic Arts Film and Television Production MFA program. A school he dreamed of attending. Currently, Rohan is in his final year at USC SCA where he’s focusing on writing and directing.

Rohan loves spending time with family and friends, advocating for social justice, re-watching Battlestar Galactica (re-imaged version) a million times, Costco pizza, the LA Clippers, karaoke nights, and 90’s R&B music.
