Fayeque M. Townsend-Rahman

Fayeque has been working in creative media for over two decades, having made his way through the television, motion picture, advertising and digital publishing industries across the world. His career began with reporting from the field in civil war torn Sri Lanka, where he refined his writing for news outlets including the BBC, CNN and Young Asia Television. Fascinated by the power of scripting, he turned his attention to writing for films, completing an MFA at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. This gave him the privilege of being part of award-winning teams and projects that furthered his career in creative executions. Then, after almost 10 years of progressive experience in the advertising industry, where he focused on the art of copy, Fayeque took a leap into the world of digital publishing, where he honed his skills in the branded content arena. At Static Media, he brings a brand perspective to content, strategizing integrated campaigns.

Fayeque holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from McGill University on Montreal, where he wrote a thesis on the "aesthetic object as a bridge between the Phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty and Nominalism of Nelson Goodman." He also holds an MFA in Film from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, where he was mentored by John Badham (Satruday Night Fever) and Peter Medak (The Ruling Class).
