His Mother, Cheri (Creedon), an RN originally from Ontario, Canada who provided him with the means to follow his dreams. Attila moved with his mother to Oklahoma when he was 11 years old. In the late ots, the DSLR revolution lent a familiar feeling in the director's hand, but this new camera had much more potential than his father's military issued Nikon. He quickly began to direct music videos and hacking his camera with magiclantern and fitting ancient legendary lenses on modern cameras. As time went on, he learned every aspect of production, from pre through post as a way to understand the process intimately. While his main focus remains as a producer, director, actor, and editor, his ability to participate in any part of production allows him to be an Auteur for his personal productions. He is the Owner and Director of a boutique production company, Elephant Treehouse, located in the historic FilmRow of Oklahoma City and the Director of Education for The OKCFS. His latest goal, outside of producing personal projects, is to bridge the gap between LA and Atlanta by making Oklahoma City a premier destination for filmmakers worldwide.
