E.J. Chicky is an aspiring filmmaker currently studying film at George Mason University. He has an A.F.A. in Cinema from Northern Virginia Community College. During his time at NOVA, E.J. started out in mechanical engineering but soon realized that that field was not for him. After much self-reflection, he decided to pursue his passion for film, which he had had for as long as he could remember. Once E.J. switched majors, he directed three films, took part in a podcast internship, and received three straight presidential scholar awards. He looks forward to directing many films at George Mason and in the future.
