About me
I am an independent filmmaker with a knack for producing. Over the past five years, I’ve developed the versatility to direct and conceptualize live-action fiction, documentary and animated projects in film, television and advertising. Regardless of context, my job comes down to the ability to build trust with clients and translate their needs to images. I’m self-motivated and recently taught myself how to do stop-motion animation. My last two animated short films went on to win Nespresso Talents Mexico and become the first project officially licensed by Dolby Atmos in Latin America. I’m looking to continue learning and building a body of work that better represents the country I was born and raised in - with all of its profound contrasts and effervescence - seduced by the possibility of building bridges and connecting elements that are apparently disparate within the same creative space.
