about
Iβm a filmmaker with a love for storytelling. What began as creating and editing videos at the age of eight has grown into a focused passion for screenwriting and directing. I currently study in the Film & Television Conservatory at the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), where I continue to hone my craft and explore the kind of stories that move me.
I grew up surrounded by stories- the kind passed down at family gatherings, told by grandparents who carried our history, and shared by a large, loud, loving Hispanic family of natural storytellers. Those memories, voices, and traditions shaped my earliest understanding of culture and identity. Learning about my roots has always grounded me, shaping how I see the world and how I approach my work as a filmmaker.
Since the start of my creative journey, Iβve collaborated with a wide range of artists, companies, and organizations across Southern California. My work- spanning short narrative films, stage performances, music videos, and commercial projects- brings forward visual stories shaped by sincerity, character, and emotional presence.
In addition to directing and cinematography, Iβve gained handsβon experience across multiple production roles, strengthening my skills and expanding my understanding of the filmmaking process.
Iβm also the founder and producer of the Rooted Film Festival, a project inspired by the family stories I grew up hearing. Rooted was born from the idea of creating a space where young filmmakers could explore their own stories- a place shaped by culture, memory, and the meaning of βroots.β
