Val Gameiro is a writer turned director with a passion for stories with a message, and president of Ideal Scene Productions, a film production company in Austin, Texas. After 10 years writing for film, Val turned to directing, and has worked on several shorts (When She Smiles, Aftermath, Perseverance, Suffer the Children, etc.), a web series (7 Shades Of Lenity) and a Script-to-Screen event held by the Austin Actors Conservatory (SAG). Presently, Val is always in pre-production on something, be it a short film, or another episode of 7 Shades of Lenity, and in post on other projects and event videos (concerts, weddings, etc.), but he’s always planning more work for the future. One of his favorite quotes is “I don’t do film because I like it, I do it because that’s the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning, then in the shower and before I go to bed… it’s as natural as breathing.”
Val is currently working on “Amnesia”, an independent psychological horror thriller being shot around Austin, Texas. This is a film with a message on human rights violations in mental institutions and human trafficking. The film is based on actual documented events.

And the Kickstarter campaign here (contribute, folks):

The film focuses on human rights violations in mental institutions and at the hands of human traffickers. This is an important message, and Val hopes to use this feature film to convey the horrors and move people to action.
