I cried watching

Earliest memories in the cinema: E.T., An American Tail, Empire of the Sun, The Killing Fields, The Last of the Mohicans. I cry quite a bit in movies...

I left the cinema during

The best thing I own

Music and my camera. These two things come together for me. Music inspires me to take photos. Music allows me to dream. My camera allows me to shoot them.

More about me

I've been a movie lover since I was a child and I wanted to make movies since I as 9. I am a hands-on filmmaker. I shoot, and edit most of my films. However, i love collaborating with others who dream like me, work hard and who can teach me something. I love mindful and intelligent men and women. One day Mexico will be my base.
