Tony and Erika

When they met at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009, Tony Rizzo and Erika Barreto shared an absurd passion for the filmmaking process and have been collaborating ever since. Their works are driven by a celebration of emotion, beauty, intensity and cinema history. In May of 2011, they completed and screened their first feature-length film, with Erika as director of photography and Tony as writer, director and lead actor. Today they work regularly in the Chicago fashion industry as videographers and editorial filmmakers, and are the new videography team for Raw Artists in 2012!
