When I was 12, my older brother snuck me in to watch an R-rated film, Apocalypse Now. I instantly became hooked on movies. Born in Chile, I grew up with the ease and friendliness of a rural kid. My imagination grew wild. Thus, coupled with my natural curiosity and free spirit, my love for storytelling was born. I use my life experiences as a bilingual immigrant as inspiration for my writing. I love to write stories that some consider footnotes in history books—my work explores points of view that are all too often ignored. I try to fill my creative work with fierce, enigmatic, sharp, and independent characters that are rooted in their narrative. Eduardo teaches screenwriting at CSUDH.
