We had the good fortune of connecting with Abraham Lopez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abraham, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
The reason I chose to pursue an artistic and creative career is because ever since I was young I enjoyed going to the movies and being taken to another world where anything is possible. I enjoyed the storytelling and the creativity, therefore inspiring me to create, direct, write, and produce movies of my own. I love it and am passionate about it so I chose to pursue it as my career.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others in the entertainment industry is that I am very team oriented and I am a very determined individual who keeps going even when things get rough. I don’t give up and I am determined to achieve my goals no matter how hard it may be. What I’m most proud of is the success of all of my proof of concepts (The Betrayal, Life Like This, ED: A Love Story, A Knock, Hidden Lives, Love Ways, Finding Dan, Under, and A Musical Box) which have won an accumulative 950 awards and counting from film festivals. I am most excited about the release of my first feature film, Hidden Lives, which is based off of one of my proof of concepts. The Hidden Lives proof of concept has won 200+ awards alone! I wrote, directed, and produced the feature film and it stars three of my managed actors who are under the management department of my company A Greek God Entertainment. Hidden Lives is a psychological thriller following a girl named Samantha (played by Deborah Shirley) who experiences tragic moments in her life and is now seeking friendship with her new roommate, Hannah (played by Natalie Moore), an aspiring singer and songwriter who has also experienced tragedies in her life such as the loss of her father. Samantha becomes obsessive over Hannah which quickly leads to a variety of messy situations. I got to where I am today professionally by making a lot of sacrifices and putting everything toward my company in order to bring my stories that I have written to life and by putting my work into film festivals and achieving great success from it. It wasn’t easy and I faced a lot of challenges with finding the right locations, getting the right team, and finding dedicated actors for my projects. The way I overcame these challenges was by taking the time to find the right people and locations and working hard with my actors by going over things multiple times until it was perfected. A lesson I learned along the way is that nothing comes easy and that you can’t give up on your dreams and goals. You just have to keep pushing. I have also learned that people aren’t always who they seem to be or who they say they are. I learned that you have to be vigilant, determined, and passionate about what you do. I want the world to know that I am a passionate and dedicated director, writer, producer, and business owner who is very team oriented and wants to grow with my team to achieve our dreams within the entertainment industry, even through tough times.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my friend was visiting I would definitely take them to go site seeing around Hollywood and show them where different films were made. I would take them to Cupid’s Hotdogs to have really good hotdogs and also to the Scum and Villainy cantina.
