Assistant Director - D'Adonis Moquette
D’Adonis Moquette was born in Hollywood CA and raised in San Jose CA. As a child he always had an interest in entertainment and performance. After years of performing as a musician and dropping out of college with an uncompleted Acting major, tragedy struck in the form of the death of his childhood best friend and the loss of his home, Moquette found himself at the crux of a pivotal life moment. Scrounging up the courage that he could, he got himself back into college with the new focus of majoring in Film, in the hopes that he could create new opportunities for those who had none. He dreams of one day making it back to Hollywood, his place of birth, now armed with his best friend’s mantra echoing in his mind... “Live Life Worth Livin.” |
