In a Time of Jewels

Robert Asencio is a proud artist from New Jersey with a bachelor's degree in Theatre from Kean University. The greatest lesson acting has taught him is the importance of self-reflecting on one's own experiences in order to bring characters to life with truthfulness and empathy. Robert is also a dedicated musician, visual artist, and filmmaker whose award winning film KNIGHT won him the New Jersey Honorary Achievement Award in the Art of Filmmaking at The Brightside Tavern Film Festival. Most recently Robert has worked on the Apple TV+ series Dear Edward. His continued study of the arts has fed his artistic life with an everlasting joy that he is very grateful to have found. Ultimately, he believes that all artists must strive to build a deep personal relationship with their art forms.
