Films

I began making films when I was fifteen. Jaula 8 — a wordplay on the words “aula” and “jaula”, which stand for “classroom” and “jail” in Spanish — back in 2003 was my first work.

Since then I’ve worked as a director, writer, and editor in a bunch of short, medium length films, a couple documentaries, and a few feature films. Part of this work is listed on my IMDb page.

My films have won awards and participated in many international film festivals and art museum exhibitions.

Apart from directing, writing, editing, working on sound design and the music, I’ve also designed the posters for my films.

I’m currently working on a film called White Ashes, written and directed by me. This is a personal culmination of my aesthetic development and filmmaking technique. It’s been a long process that I hope to have finished soon. Here’s a teaser:
