Film director and storyteller

My journey into the world of cinema began not in a theater or on a set but in the hands of an eight-year-old Mexican girl who asked Santa Claus for her first camera. That Christmas morning was not just the beginning of my enduring love affair with storytelling but also the start of a passion that has shaped my entire life.

​

Throughout my life I have faced the challenge of reconciling my true self with societal expectations but it was through cinema that I found the mirror I needed, reflecting to me a reality where love and identity were as diverse and complex as humanity itself. Cinema taught me that my feelings were not only valid but shared by many others, as they were a source of comfort and inspiration, self-acceptance and understanding.

​

And this is how I found my purpose: foreground the diversity of life experiences through cinema and storytelling, specially those that seem too rigid.
