About Me

As shown, my name is Paulo Makalinao. I'm a Filipino immigrant in the United States and have been living in New Jersey for the vast majority of my life. I've been very intensive in the arts since a young age and have been in countless musicals and shows. Singing and dance have also been integral to my arts experience, but my dream in life is to become a documentary filmmaker. I started off taking portraits for a fashion blog my high school, but my creative work quickly turned into content creation and filming for small businesses, student groups, and performers. I am currently an undergraduate at Stanford University studying both Economics and Film.
