I was born in Hoboken, NJ and raised in Union City, NJ. I experimented in different mediums of writing, such as poetry and journalism, until finally settling in screenwriting. I attended New York Film Academy to study screenwriting while also assisting on several independent film projects for MOJOCreative Group. After completing the screenwriting program in 2009, I co-founded Sunnyside Down Productions with a couple of my filmmaker friends. With my Sunnyside team, we made multiple award-winning indie films of all genres such as drama, action, and comedy.

In early 2011, I co-founded C.G.O. & G.ORE Entertainment with my brother, Cesar G. Orellana. We produced many short films from horror to comedy to romance such as the award-winning films "Adhesive Love," "Mixed Signals," “Based on True Events," and “The Hunted." I traveled around North America on the film festival circuit for "The Hunted," which garnered multiple awards, ending its festival run at the inaugural Tonkawa Film Festival in March 2020. In June 2018, I was honored to have been a recipient for the Union City Artist Award for Excellence in Filmmaking.

Since COVID hit, things have slowed down a little. I attended film festivals for a short film I produced, "Imaginary," directed by Humberto Guzman, and I helped out on the production of his latest short film, "Shrike." I also served on the Short Films Jury at the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival in the summer of 2023. In the meantime, I have been working endlessly on new scripts, some of which I will be submitting to festivals and competitions.
