About

I’ve been an artist since before I can remember. It all started with drawing. At 12 years old I was doing stop motion and Claymation and by the time I was 14 I had shot my first short film. Fast forward to my 24th birthday, when I decided to go get my master’s degree from my dream school (USC’s School of Cinematic Arts). By then I had finished a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual arts, played bass for a band in front of hundreds of people, had songs played at and been interviewed on national radio, had three music videos I directed on MTV Latin America’s top 10 (with one # 1), and had shot and edited a live rock concert that would go on to feature as part of MTV’s world stage series, and be sold in record stores. That still wasn't enough. So, I left my band and my burgeoning career as an up and coming music video director in Colombia to pursue my dream of being a film director. Thus, I moved to Los Angeles, where I got my MFA, and then stayed 6 years total until late 2015. During this time, I worked as an independent director, doing short form content for artists and clients. I Co-wrote, produced, co-directed and edited my first feature length film, and I worked as a cinematographer on another feature, meanwhile working in developing film and TV projects for one of my USC mentors, as well as for myself. In late 2018, my wife and I moved to Vancouver Canada, looking for a new start. In my time there, I taught film directing at Vancouver Film School, was a Creative Director at Appreciated Media, and then for the past two years Creative Vice President and Producer at Crank Media, a company where I got to assemble from the ground and lead a talented creative team, as well as pursue the production of various long and short form projects, including developing long form projects, shooting a TV pilot, all kinds of content for social media, photographing our music label’s artists, shooting their videos, and I even got to supervise the creation on 3D metaverse style world prototypes. I moved to Toronto in late 2022, and decided to start working for myself again.
