Hilton Ariel Ruiz is a native of New York City's lower east side. Mr. Ruiz always had a keen interest in cinema/photography since he first saw Scorsese's Raging Bull. After taking his first high school cinema course, his interest began to seriously develop into an obsession. It was at a local New York Film Institute where Mr. Ruiz received accolades for the most successful short film.


What particularly interested Hilton was the "picture" of film. He began the study of photography at the Queens Borough College and the Fashion Institute of Technology. It was there that his craft was honed and where he met his mentor, Jules Allen. His education and passion for cinema grew as he attended the most prestigious New York University in the Cinematic Arts program. In addition, audited courses at the School of Visual Arts where he expanded his knowledge and appreciation for the language of motion picture film making and photography.
