About Tate Havlovitz
Who I Am
I am a Columbus, Ohio native with over 5 years of experience in various creative fields. I am especially passionate about low-budget, DIY, and community based projects. As a member of the LGBT community, I am always looking for ways to increase the accessibility of art to all types of people. I am beginning my career in the world of film and can't wait to not only gain more experience in my craft, but bring positive change with me in my endeavors.
I currently specialize in production design and cinematography, but have experience in many other roles such as director, editor, writer, and DIT.
Education
In December of 2023, I received my B.F.A. in Film & Video Arts from Columbus College of Art and Design.
I also received my A.A.S. in Digital Photography from Columbus State Community College in May of 2021.
Past Accomplishments & Experience
I completed my senior B.F.A. project, Bay of Punks, in December of 2023. This ambitious project, written and directed by me, raised over $4,000 in funding and has a total runtime of 25 minutes. I am currently preparing to submit the film to festivals as well as develop a series based on the project.
My directorial debut short film, Crimes of Passion, was awarded 'Best Young Screenwriter' by the Chicago Script Awards in 2022. Additionally, it received an honorable mention from the 2022 Hollywood New Directors Festival.
Papers For Superman was the first short film I worked on, in which I served as the cinematographer. This short film has received over 10 laurels, including 'Best Advanced Student Film' from the 2023 Southern Arizona Independent Film Festival.
