Bio
Born and raised in Honduras, I am a Director and Cinematographer based in Nashville, TN. With a unique ability to combine the lines of storytelling and cinematography, my films all have a distinct look depending on the characters and story, taking viewers on a relentless journey.
My approach
Inspired by the intricacies of suspense and the power of mystery in storytelling from directors David Fincher and Denis Villeneuve, my approach to writing and shooting is rooted in my passion for creating stuff that I would like to see myself with a twist inspired in my background. I look forward to continuing to make use of my background and inspirations to craft stories that people can be invested in.
Education and Experience
My educational journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of the most important aspects of filmmaking, from crafting suspenseful narratives to creating immersive atmospheres. My commitment to mastering the art of cinematography and suspense is evident in my academic works.
