I am a queer Latino creative producer, writer, and director based in Hartford. My work is grounded in real people and tangible impact, with a focus on elevating underrepresented voices and telling stories that feel both intimate and socially resonant. Whether I'm directing award-winning documentaries, designing filmmaking programs for Latino youth, or managing the moving parts of complex productions, I approach every project with intention, empathy, and a strong sense of collaboration..
Known for balancing big-picture storytelling with the practical realities of production, I bring a mix of clarity, care, and just the right amount of fun to my process. My projects often live at the intersection of culture, identity, and community, reflecting a deep commitment to storytelling as a tool for connection and change.
WHO I AM
A creative from an early age, I gravitated toward the arts as a kid and discovered a passion for filmmaking in high school. That interest led him to study Film and Television at New York University, where I began building the foundation for my producing career. Since then, I continued to develop work that blends artistic vision with thoughtful execution, always prioritizing stories that matter.
I created FIRST TAKE as a 12-week filmmaking program to give Latinx youth from underserved communities the tools to write, film, and edit their own short films—using just their cellphones. Partnering with local non-profits, I help bring this program to communities that need it most, making filmmaking more accessible while sparking creativity and building real-world skills for future careers in film and media.
To put it simply: I make dope, culture-driven content rooted in real people and real stories.
I amplify underrepresented voices with work that hits both emotionally and socially.
Big vision, sharp execution. I know how to bring ideas to life.
Docs, programs, productions. I tell things that actually matter.
At the core: storytelling for connection, representation, and impact.
