TAHNEEK RAHMAN
Creative Freelancer & Award-Winning Filmmaker​
Ever since I was in eighth grade, I knew I wanted to inspire and motivate people. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I knew I wanted to do it with a camera. Fast forward to high school, I spent all four years in my school's TV production program where I served as a news anchor and lead editor for the morning news show. Through the program, I learned how to tell short stories and improved my technical skills.
I have gone on to win Best Screenwriting, Best in Show, Audience Choice, and Jury's Choice in a few festivals including the Reel Short Teen Film Festival and Campus Movie Fest. My work has also been featured in the All American High School Film Festival and the 26th Annual Brouhaha Film & Video Showcase.
​
I graduated from the University of Central Florida in the Spring of 2022 with my BFA in Film, focusing primarily on Narrative Production. During my time at UCF, I was able to grow even more as a storyteller and had the opportunity to intern at the USTA National Campus, Universal Orlando, and Walt Disney World, to name a few.
