Artist/self-taught filmmaker: director, writer, editor, producer. I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela and studied digital photography at The Roberto Mata School in Caracas. Co-founded EL FANTASMA, a Venezuelan film collective/studio. I migrated from my native country out of necessity in the year 2016 and unexpectedly stayed in NYC, my home for the past 9 years. To this date I’ve released five short films of different genres and styles. El Sonido Es El Cuerpo “Sound Is The Body”, an experimental feature I just finished, currently awaits release, as I develop Fiebre Karibe “Karibbean Fever”, another long-form film, while continuing to work on other parallel projects.

My projects usually entail speculative fictions that tackle topics such as individual/collective migration, apocalyptic imaginations, historical re-imagining, and repressed desires, emotions & malaises. These films have screened and won awards at international film festivals including Locarno, Brussels, Sitges, Cinélatino Toulouse, Tacoma Film Festival, Brooklyn Film Festival, Uruguay Film Festival, Chicago Latino FF, among others. I’m a recipient of the Jerome Production Grant, the Venezuelan National Film Fund, and have participated in programs such as the Locarno Open Doors, Locarno Spring Academy, Tres Puertos Lab and the CineQuaNon Residency.
