Mi Cultura Mexicana Documentary
As a photographer and filmmaker very early on in life I knew that I wanted to create and tell stories with my photography and filmmaking, I was heavily influenced by these mentors and legends Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Pedro Pablo Ibarra and Guillermo del Toro, Mexico's finest. So it only made sense that I would create a short story about my culture, heritage and traditions. I will take you on a journey into the beautiful country of Mexico. I also wanted to take this special moment to dedicate this story to my dear parents may they rest in peace. Thank you for always instilling in me the importance of being a proud Mexican.
