About

Born on 29 May 1981 Bogotá, Colombia. Cinema, Documentaries, Films and TV Series. I have worked in several countries such as Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Cuba, Argentina, Costa Rica and Colombia. My experience is mainly creating and producing contents of socio-cultural, musical and ethnographic nature working together with different indigenous peoples, communities of African origins, and also mestizo populations of Latin America and Central America. I have a huge work experience at Colombian production company Tiempos Modernos Cine y TV founded in 1983 by directors Víctor Gaviria and Jorge Mario Álvarez. In Bogotá I attended Black Maria Film School where I wrote and directed my first film Allá Viven los Sapos (2003) https://youtu.be/YmjD3VCqGQk at the age of 21. I have lived in Italy since 2005. In Rome I studied at Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (CSC) and Paolo Sorrentino was one of my teachers. In 2009 I won the “Schools Award” at 5th Backstage Film Festival of Cesena, Italy, with the documentary Ti Stramo Backstage (2008) https://youtu.be/wPx3RSdG-mk. For more than 8 years I worked as a correspondent from Italy and Europe, with journalist Michael McCarthy for the Iranian Satellite TV Channel at PRESS TV, and with journalist Mary Villalobos for the Colombian television news at RCN and NTN 24  https://youtu.be/KrlLcv89kq8.
