Director Biography - Alonzo Gonzalez Gonzalez

My name is Martín Alonzo González González De Manalisco Jr. I grew up in Jalisco Mexico, and Long Beach California.

I am 22 years old, and a 4th year at California State University of California Long Beach. I study economics to help Mexico, however my career will be as a professional actor and director.

I will make films that show my Mexican culture, while telling universal stories that everyone can get behind no matter where they're from.

Films today are competing with Youtube and TikTok for views. So I am going to evolve the medium and make films that can compete and beat Youtube/TikTok in terms of views and retention.
