ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Caden H. Hollander and I'm a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and filmmaker that recently graduated from USC's School of Cinematic Arts with a Film/Television Production BFA degree!
​
I fell in love with filmmaking when I made my first short film in fourth grade, as my friends and I ran around our backyards shooting on our iPod Touches, teaching ourselves the basics of storytelling. Now, over ten years later, I've released over 10 short films and two feature films that have screened in over 40 festivals around the world. My debut feature film, Tech Week, was recently awarded the prestigious Student Filmmaker Award at Filmocracy Fest, and my follow-up feature, Where Were You?, was recently nominated for Best Feature Film at the 2022 San Diego Film Awards.
​
I've also had the privilege of working on many other award-winning film projects as a Producer, Director of Photography, Editor, Script Supervisor, Assistant Director and Sound Designer, as well as for production companies like Hello Sunshine, Imagemovers and Captivate Entertainment in their Development departments.
​
When I'm not writing or working on a film, you can probably find me playing tennis, trying to find the best pizza, standing in obnoxiously long lines at Comic-Con or aimlessly just driving around, trying to scout locations for future films. While I hail from San Diego, I am now based in LA, and excited to connect and collaborate, so feel free to use the Contact page to get in touch with me about any potential projects!
