My name is Jamen Gaxiola, born 1993. I took a class called Cinema Production Resources (CPR) in 2014 a year after high school. This is the class that introduced me to the world of productions. It has been my life ever since starting my apprenticeship with local 33 at the Hollywood Palladium. I am now one of the youngest payroll/contract stewards local 33 has ever had.
I do this job for the love of it. Knowing I had something to do with putting on a show that gave joy to any where from a couple hundred people to a couple thousand people is amazing to me.
