Asar S. Saint Lamont has become accustomed to saying "Syracuse made me; D.C. raised me" when asked where he is from. His grandparents ushered in 12 children which resulted in a lot of cousins for him to imagine with. In his home, these experiences were shared with his mom and youngest brother. In adolescence, Asar created short stories on construction paper, craft imaginary school lessons using his siblings as students, and fabricated plays for his cousins to perform for family.
DeMatha Catholic High School introduced him to sheet music and the clarinet, flute, and piccolo became his tools of expression. As he pursued his Bachelor of Science in Business Management, minoring in Labor Studies & Employment Relations, at The Pennsylvania State University's Smeal School of Business, his natural draw to creativity manifested an inaugural awards show that was named after him, an array of websites, and a few promotional videos for The Mighty Gamma Nu Chapter of his beloved fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.
All of these endeavors culminated in an epiphany while he was serving as a Chinese Linguist and Intelligence Analyst and in the United States Navy that pushed him into pursuing film. Through the hardships that tested him during this time came the resolution to follow passion and purpose.
In the Summer of 2023, Asar served in the capacity of a Development Intern at Monkeypaw Productions as a member of The Academy Gold Rising Class of 2023. In the same year, he earned his Master of Fine Arts in Film & Television Production at The University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in 2023.
