Artist/self-taught filmmaker: director, writer, editor, producer. I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela and studied digital photography at The Roberto Mata School in Caracas. Co-founded EL FANTASMA, a Venezuelan film collective/studio. I migrated from my native country out of necessity in the year 2016 and unexpectedly stayed in NYC, my home for the past 10 years. To this date I’ve released five short films of different genres and styles. My debut feature El Sonido Es El Cuerpo “Sound Is The Body” is currently in awaiting premiere, and I’m developing a second one, Fiebre Caribe “Caribbean Fever”, as I continues to work on other projects.

My projects usually entail speculative fictions that tackle topics such as individual/collective migration, apocalyptic imaginations, historical re-imagining, and repressed desires, emotions & malaises. These films have screened and won awards at international film festivals including Locarno, Brussels, Sitges, Cinélatino Toulouse, Tacoma Film Festival, Brooklyn Film Festival, Uruguay Film Festival, Chicago Latino FF, among others. He is a recipient of the Jerome Production Grant, the Venezuelan National Film Fund, and has participated in programs such as the Locarno Open Doors, Locarno Spring Academy, Tres Puertos Lab and the CineQuaNon Residency.
