I define myself as: Humanity: Artist Species: Sapiens Genre: Homo Family: Hominid Order: Primate Class: Mammalia Phylum: Chordata/Vertebrate Kingdom: Animal
I am an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker from a marginal low-income background in South America. Being the first of my family to obtain a higher education, I am a "Summa Cum Laude" screenwriting graduate and a member of the prestigious "Phi Kappa Phi" society. I achieved the "President's Distinguished Honors Award," presented to the most prestigious students in the United States. I have been selected for several scholarships, such as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, and Jonathan Schweid Mem, among others.
In addition to my Spanish Literature degree obtained in Argentina, I have earned the following degrees in Los Angeles, California:
- CSUN: Bachelor's in Film & TV Arts, Master's Degree in Fine Arts —Screenwriting.
- LAVC: AA in Film, TV, and Broadcasting, AA in Directing, AA in Screenwriting, AA in Postproduction, and an AS in Political Science.
On top of being a writer (with screenplays for television and film in genres such as drama, historical, comedy, horror, family, sci-fi, fantasy, and thriller), I am an actor with over two decades of experience, a poet/philosopher with published books, a musician/songwriter with six published albums (multi-instrumentalist), and an audio and video editor.
I am an educator for LAUSD and CEO at High Blood Production Company, dedicated to creating meaningful and educational audiovisual arts entertainment from an inclusive perspective.
