From the mystical deserts of Chihuahua, Mexico, I now call Los Angeles home. Chihuahua, rich with legends of chupacabras, witches, and alien encounters, sparked my passion for storytelling—especially narratives that explore sci-fi, intangible, and abstract ideas. Raised by parents with global careers, I grew up immersed in diverse cultures, igniting a lifelong curiosity for different perspectives. My love for filmmaking led me to the Vancouver Film School in 2019 and later to Los Angeles, where I earned a BFA in filmmaking and a minor in creative writing from the Art Center College of Design. There, I had the privilege of working with talents like Matthew Rolston, Matia Karell, Stephen Berkman, and Charles Stone III. I have a soft spot for clever comedy.

Amazon has become part of humanity's heritage, and Jess Bezos has started spacial exploration. This concept is an exploration of the traditional UFO sighting but reversed. This is a 2/2 thesis commercial for my BFA at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Made with a total budget of 10k.
