Fernando A. Mico is an Award Winning Filmmaker from Alexandria, VA. While still in the Boston University film program, his first production, EVER AFTER (Reloaded), garnered acclaim by winning Action Film of the Year at the Action On Film International Film Festival. His feature film beat out several hundred great, well funded movies and went on to be distributed through outlets such as Amazon, Best Buy and Barnes & Noble. After graduating from George Mason University with a double major in Fine Art and Government & Politics, Mico's early career began as a colorist for Marvel Comics Entertainment in Los Angeles. He went on to design movie posters for studios such as Paramount, Warner Bros., and Universal Studios.Mico began training in martial arts as a child and never stopped. He is a Tae Kwon Do master, holding a 6th degree black belt and is a 4 time US National gold medalist; receiving invitations to train for the US Olympic team. Combining a lifetime of martial arts and filmmaking prowess, it is no surprise that Mico's initial success came from producing action movies. Mico has also been teaching martial arts for most of his life. It seems instructing is in his blood; having taught filmmaking at his alma mater, Boston University, for several years and graphic design at Johns Hopkins University. While he continues to produce, write, direct and handle all aspects of post production for his production company (Violent Hues Productions), his major role is now as the director of The Northern Virginia International Film Festival, the sister festival to the Action On Film International Film Festival. He can also be found making an occasional cameo on productions such as Netflix's House of Cards and HBO's VEEP. Hide
