Director Statement

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I've had the idea of "Miguel y Eva" for years, and with the help of some very talented people, I was able to make it come to life.

My film "Miguel Y Eva" studies the themes of greed, lust, and betrayal. I grew up watching Mexican cinema and telenovelas, and now, as an adult, I truly enjoy the works of Alejandro Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuaron, and Quentin Tarantino.

I hope my film inspires someone to grab a camera and make films!
