ABOUT

FILM DIRECTOR · CREATIVE PRODUCER · AI FILMMAKER

I made my first video when I was twelve. It was a collection of videos of the strangest people who passed in front of my house at night. I invented voice-over narrations about who they might be and why they dared to cross a dangerous neighborhood.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in Film from Universidad Nacional de Colombia and, while in my third semester, won an India Catalina Award at FICCI, LATAM's oldest film festival, for a short doc. That recognition led to a scholarship to pursue an MFA in Directing at NYFA in Los Angeles.

I've directed award-winning short films and led video productions for global brands. Today, I work across film, commercials, and AI while continuing to develop original independent cinema from emerging LATAM voices.
