I'm a filmmaker who grew up around Miami's underground music scene, direction and editing short films and music videos. In college, I interned at Oscilloscope Laboratories which solidified my love of telling stories.
In 2016, I ventured into the world of comic book writing. My graphic novel Dark Beach, a sci-fi noir thriller, was published by Simon and Schuster and is now optioned at Fabula.
In 2022, I was given funding by Oolite Arts to create my short film Save The Flea, which took place inside of an active flea market. The short went on to win the audience award at the Miami Film Festival as well as selections and awards in other festivals like the Fantasia Film Festival, the New York Latino Film Festival and san diego comic-con.
I'm currently in post-production on my first feature, wastelands. Set for release in 2027
