About

Hi, I’m Judith Tovar, an experienced assistant director and photographer currently working on independent feature films and community events in Houston, Texas. With a background in filmmaking and photography, I’ve contributed behind the scenes in production scheduling, document management, location scouting, and capturing quality visuals both on set and at various events.

I also have strong administrative and coordination skills from my ongoing role at the Harris County Precinct 2 Mangum-Howell Community Center where I develop and execute major events, organize workshops, and assist the public. My bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish helps me connect with diverse teams and communities effectively.
