Director Bio
Germar D. Townsend
Germar began his life in media at a very young age. At age seven he was featured in a cable reality series focused on youth—Small Talk. After spending much of his teen years performing and producing, Germar landed at Georgia State University.
At GSU, Germar was an interdisciplinary studies major with a concentration in Multi-media Technology and Relations. Those studies included courses in film, recording technology, entertainment business, journalism and public relations.
After a few years of working in independent production, Germar completed a Master’s program at the University of Colorado at Denver in Recording Arts. His post-graduate gigs have included teaching digital video, video production at First Beach Productions, Peachtree City UMC and CU Online and audio production for Aldea Spiritual Community, Iliff Park and a professional basketball team.
When Germar isn’t in a studio, he’s working with teens as a counselor, coach, mentor or instructor. A term with AmeriCorps*VISTA, as Youth Development Director, sparked his desire to advocate for the youth of Greater Tucson. This passion led to his involvement with Pan Left and the production of his first documentary, AT RISK: in their own words. |
