Ever since I can remember, movies have been a part of my life. They’ve inspired, entertained, and taught me so many things. After watching them, that kid living in Cuautitlán Izcalli wondered if it was even possible to make something like that. That kid had hopes of becoming a film director. Today, at 23 years old, I am proud to tell that kid that, although the road is barely becoming visible and a lot of things keep fogging that road, we are very much on our way. Eternal thanks to everyone who has helped me make those dreams come true.

Projects featured:
I’m New (short, 2022; prod. Gabriela Delgado & Athená Polymenis)
Dear Esther (short, 2023)
The Other Side (short, 2023; prod. Madison Lehew)
Trompo (short, 2033; prod. Emma Fischer)
MXR Films Crew T-Shirts (commercial, 2024)
¿Cuándo perdí mi cabeza? (short, 2024; prod. Brandy Frausto & Valentina Veliz)

So excited for the next projects coming this 2025!
