I'm a freelance cinematographer based in Mérida, Venezuela, who has covered from protests, politics, environmental issues and extreme sports stories. I recently was the main videographer for an Associated Press documentary called Vanishing Venezuela, that details the work of scientists trying to study the country's last glacier. For that video, I filmed ground images in Mérida during massive blackouts, interviews and also their first climbing expedition to the Humboldt glacier at over 14,000 feet. I've also filmed in the Himalayas and recently in Venezuela's largest peak, Pico Bolívar. I'm passionate about filming, climbing, nature and photography, and very versatile when it comes to filming and editing. I have my own equipment, which includes a MavicPro 2 drone and Sony A7 iii camera, with a varied set of lenses.

De mano de profesionales del cine (realizadores, guionistas, directores de fotografía, montadores, etc.), los niños y jóvenes descubren el cine a partir de la práctica. Nuestros PUEBLOS guardan la cultura y las tradiciones de nuestra nación: su gente, el que hacer diario, la forma de relacionarse con la naturaleza, el trabajo, la convivencia, la comida, su música, las historias guardan la esencia de nuestra Venezuela, esencia que a pesar de los cambios y las nuevas tecnologías se mantiene viva, resistiendo el paso del tiempo gracias a los valores de identidad heredados ancestralmente. PUEBLOS es una mirada desde el corazón de nuestros pueblos, desde su gente, desde sus niños y jóvenes desde los verdaderos conocedores y vividores de la historia y que ahora pueden contarla pueden volverla imágenes pueden transmitirla y pueden hacer que todos sintamos nuestras raíces y el despertar de nuestra identidad.
