Rafael Riera (Writer - Director) Rafael Riera was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After graduating from Saint John’s High School, he attended Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts, graduating with a BA in Sociological Studies. Rafael later took graduate courses in Literature at the Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico, as well as film courses at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. Riera spent a few years in the banking and tourism industries in Boston and San Juan, before dedicating himself to filmmaking full-time in 2001. He wrote and produced ‘Helen Can Wait’, a feature film chosen for the San Juan International Film Festival that same year. He moved to Los Angeles in 2002, and wrote several short films, including ‘Joe & Jesus’ and ‘Meeting Lilliana’, making his directorial debut on the latter. He has also written and directed four holiday-themed short films since 2002. After a brief but memorable appearance in the Telemundo television show ‘La Cenicienta’, Rafael began working on his feature-film directorial debut ‘Love, Fear and Rabbits’,which he also wrote and produced. Besides his growing film credits, Rafael has also written and performed various songs, including ‘Ebonic Rhapsody’, one of the most requested songs on Worcester radio stations during his college days, as well as ‘Perrero Sandungero’, a Spanish-language single that may have helped popularize the Reggaeton movement in the United States. His basketball and baseball careers ended after a knee injury forced him to retire from competition, but not before he was selected as a two-time high school Most Valuable Player, as well as defeating professional basketball player Richie Frahm in an informal three-point shooting contest during the making of ‘Bunny WHipped’. In his spare time, Rafael runs a website, is a die-hard New York Yankee and Boston Celtic fan, and is widely regarded as the #1 Puerto Rican writer/director/paint-baller currently living in Hollywood.
