Director of Marketing

Demi Cartwright is a content creator who spent most of her childhood in Lubbock, TX. Her work and education has taken her all over the world. Demi has taken professional singing and dance lessons since she was only three years old. She went on to study Filmmaking at New York Film Academy’s Los Angeles campus and Music at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she later earned her B.A. in Visual and Performing Arts Summa Cum Laude with Major Honors. During her time at UTD, her Capstone project involved researching the implementation of arts programs into underserved communities and developing a year-long all-inclusive film curriculum that she herself could later install in underserved communities.

 

A lifelong creative, Demi brings together her passions for visual storytelling, dance, and music. Over the last decade, she has sung professionally in wine bars, coffee shops, and busking the streets of Los Angeles. Demi has also danced under the direction of world-class dancers in Hip-Hop, Salsa, Jazz, and much more. And her work behind the camera has taken her stateside and abroad working for notable figures such as Joey Travolta.

 

From 2021–2025, Demi taught filmmaking and TV production to the next generation of young creators while also coaching and teaching other subjects in both the U.S. and Spain. It was during her time in the US that she was able to formally introduce her capstone project into a Title I school in Florida. This chapter inspired her to pursue a Master’s in Teaching at Universidad de Alcalá in Madrid. In Alcalá, Demi conducted her Thesis Research Project on exploring art students’ vulnerability regarding mental health. She hopes to continue her education and become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for artists. Blending her love for mentorship with her eye for storytelling, Demi approaches every project and endeavor with creativity, intentionality, and heart. Her experience and dedication set her apart in the entertainment education industry, ensuring every student has the tools and capabilities to reach their full potential.
