Independent film director, Dean Ferreira, began his career as a stage actor, where his love of acting and the arts was born. While his other passion was always writing, it was limited to non-published stories until a few years ago, where his passion of writing took center stage. Dean wrote and directed his first short film, At Your Command and was immediately hooked. His writing and directing credits also include, Geek Away, Excalibur Enhancements, Ghost Hunting: Into the Woods and the web series, IguanaMan, and The Wrong Girl. Off The Beaten Path is Dean’s first non-writing directorial short film. In additional to his short films, Dean produced, directed and edited 40 plus videos as part of his weekly show, Third Mind Thursday.
