Rod Risbrook

ROD PATRICK RISBROOK (aka “BIG ROD”) is a CADD [Computer-Aided Drafting and Design] professional who designs/drafts engineering drawings as a consultant & spends the rest of his other time as a socio-political activist for the Black [same gender loving] community. As part of his socio-political agenda, ROD lent his humanitarian energies for 3+ years to the Black Men’s Xchange-New York [BMX-NY] which is a cultural affirmation and leadership empowerment collective for same gender loving men of African descent. Creatively, ROD captures still moments in time as a photographer, doing graphic design work, and is a producer at Brooklyn Cable Access Television [BCAT]. ROD is currently transitioning from CADD to filmmaker by pursuing a path as a cinematographer/filmmaker @ NYU in order to bring to life what he calls “our stories” that need to be told.
