Latin America to the World

I’m a filmmaker working between Latin America and North America, focused on telling stories that feel local, specific, and lived-in, but still make sense to people who aren't necessarily familiar with Latin culture.

I’m Chicano, the child of immigrant parents, and I’ve always lived between cultures, languages, and identities. That in-between space isn’t something I had to discover later in life—it’s where I started. I’ve learned to embrace it, and it’s become the foundation of how I see and tell stories.

A lot of my work sits in that same space between worlds. I’m interested in how Latin America actually feels from the inside: the humor, the contradictions, the beauty, and the organized chaos. My role is less about translating everything perfectly and more about interpreting it honestly—so global audiences don’t just “understand” Latin America, but experience it.

I’ve directed branded work, narrative work, and cultural projects across Latin America and the U.S., moving between very different environments: corporate sets, street intersections, studios, and real communities. I like that contrast, it keeps my work grounded.

As a director, I’m involved from early pre-production through to the final cut—shaping story, managing logistics, and occasionally praying that the weather doesn’t turn. I stay hands-on with both the creative and the practical, which usually means assembling a production team and solving problems that didn’t exist five minutes earlier.

At the core of everything I do is a simple goal: to build a bridge between Latin America and the rest of the world through film-one story, one character, and one connection at a time.
