About Me
I'm a trans, Colombian-American artist working passionately as a grocery store employee (and freelance filmmaker, of course). Occasionally, you can find me on bigger sets as a production assistant, driver, or 2nd AC/DIT, but more often than not, I'm living my best life creating alongside my partner from USC's Film & TV Production program, Cat Johnson (notorious sound specialist and day-time barista). Together, we independently develop & produce short films, music videos, and documentaries - but here and there you'll catch us in the middle of a wild adventure, probably after having shot a wedding. Because hey, we do that too!
My never-ending gratitude for the Universe inspires me to infuse all my work with honesty, vulnerability, & reality, never forgetting a healthy dose of cosmic humor regardless of the genre, and I live by the simple 3-point mantra: “Emotion, Rhythm, & Story.” Within my artistic approach, I have a special interest in stories about gender & power-based harm, personal autonomy, complicated socioeconomic conditions, & family/community.
