James Rice, while originally born in Texas, was raised in North Carolina and held UNCSA as the best choice for his education and developing love of design. Currently James is on track to graduate with his BFA in film making from UNC School of the Arts with a concentration in production design. He comes from multiple family members who held success in the film industry both behind and in front of the camera. This ultimately guided his career path and lead to prospects of eventually becoming a set designer in the union as well as several other goals for when he's out in the field. Following graduation, he will move to Atlanta, GA and continue working towards his goals of becoming a veritable worker in the industry.
