Rebecca Mendoza is an impressive young senior of Texas State
University and a lover of the cinema. She is an 18-year-old from El Paso, Texas where she
spent her senior year of high school at UTEP before choosing to call San Marcos her college home. Although this Spring is technically Rebecca's first year in college, she plans to graduate by next May!
Ms. Mendoza is the
youngest of three and spent much of her adolescence in Leon, Mexico where she
attained fluency in Spanish. Rebecca currently lives, works and studies in San
Marcos. The aspiring young woman works diligently with her studies meanwhile juggling a part-time
job with the Department of Housing and Residential Life, or DHRL. Rebecca seeks to leave the university
with a degree in Electronic Media in Spring, 2017 and aspires to use it in
order to promote her cinematic career.
Needless to say, Mendoza loves film, especially of the
horror genre. Award-winning directors such as Guillermo del Toro have inspired
her to create a new level of horror to push the limits of fear and set the bar
for the horror-making film industry with her innovative ideas. "I want to create a movie atmosphere where realistic fears captivate and terrify my audience. I aim to move away from Hollywood's artificial take on the supernatural which modern day horror films continue to recycle." Ms. Mendoza is
positive, self-motivated and driven towards her goals of creating masterpieces
of film and accredits her education at Texas State as a major milestone towards
making her cinematic dreams a reality.
The aspiring young director looks forward toward the remainder of her time at Texas State and continuing to fuel her self-interests in the arts as well as her craving for sushi! If the consumption of raw fish doesn't scare her, I can only cringe as to the terrors that await her unsuspecting cast members.
