Los Angeles, California, United States
I’m a Dominican-American writer, director, and producer based in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a B.F.A. in Film and Television, and I’ve been fortunate to have some of my work recognized by outlets such as HollyShorts, UK Film Review, and the Beyond Hollywood International Film Festival. Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to produce a range of feature films, short films, episodics, and music videos, collaborating with independent artists and storytellers to bring meaningful and impactful narratives to life through film. I continue to grow as both a filmmaker and performer by working closely with my peers and exploring dramatic narratives, psychological storytelling, and experimental techniques that challenge me to see the art form in new ways.
