WHY DO I MAKE FILMS?

As a queer Latin American artist I make films to break conventions because I want newer generations of minorities to feel represented. I believe that today we live in a multicultural, gender fluid world where cultural boundaries and traditions are shifting and film is a powerful tool that can motivate and display these changes.

BENEATH THE LIGHT/
BAJO LA LUZ

Beneath The Light is a film that experiments with narrative to explore different mental/emotional states of the character. The film is not intended to tell a story but rather to open doors and portals to situations that can be ordinary or extra-ordinary. Situations that we could all somehow experience during our lives. I consider this to be a dance film and much of the acting, editing and filming constitutes a choreography that develops in time.
