Robbie Harrison is a lifelong musician and long-time visual artist. Born and raised in Culver City, CA, he started out playing the drums as a child and soon switched to guitar. He began his college career at the prestigious University of Southern California as an aerospace engineering major but upon making friends in the film department, he quickly realized his passions lay elsewhere. He also learned that his career in education would be a long and arduous one as choosing one passion to pursue would be next to impossible. Combining years of experience writing and playing music, creating digital art and CG animation, and computer programming, he has return to his filmmaking roots by leading the sound and visual effects departments of L2S Productions.
