As an actor/filmmaker, please introduce yourself and let us know why you decided to get involved in acting/filmmaking?

I am Dezmyre Volmeus , Haitian-American actor, model, producer, and director from Miami, Florida. I graduated from Florida International University with a dual degrees in Political science and international relations. I left Miami in 2012, after loosing my grandfather,

Jerome Cajuste, to cancer. I’ve decided it was time to move to Los Angeles to pursue my dreams in the entertainment industry.

I have trained with some of the top acting coaches in Los Angeles and Atlanta. In 2015, I had booked my first national commercial without an agent which was very encouraging because the industry is competitive. I landed commercial representation soon after.

The following year, I submitted for internship opportunity to as many agencies because I wanted to learn all angle of the business.

I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to intern at Jerry Pace agency. It was through this internship I had obtained a better

understanding of what agents and managers deals with. Soon after, I did another submission to intern with casting directors.

I was granted the opportunity to work with casting director Anissa Williams. In 2019, I trained with director/coach Beth Ryne and

learned some tips on how to help actors break down scripts. With all the training and knowledge during my internship,

I was confident enough to start creating my own project. I joined the SAG-AFTRA Union on January 2019 and made my projects union.

My decision to start producing created a magical bond between my mother, Clerda Cajuste, and I. Imagine having your mother who

was once against your career to now working with you! Best feeling ever!!!!! I am committed to acting because I want to break the Haitian traditions which limit one to choose a career in medical, law, or engineer.

Tell us about how many films you have acted in/made so far. Your experience?

So far, I have written, acted, produced, and directed two films. Both Films “In Position” and “Lost and Found” have been selected to few film festivals which is very encouraging considering being a first time Haitian filmmaker.
