I'm a Venezuelan-Canadian film director, producer, writer, entrepreneur and punk rock musician.

To date I have directed and produced six short films and five animated cartoons, and worked in over 100 film, TV and music video productions over the past four years. My latest short film "Afternoon at Gudrun" (35mm/RedMX) is currently in post-production and raising funds at indiegogo.com/gudrunmovie

I'm the drummer/singer in the Vancouver two-piece latin skapunk rock band CARACAS, with my brother Victor. Visit our site at caracastheband.com or join us at facebook.com/caracastheband

I will produce and direct my debut feature length film this coming May 2012, based on my award winning short film "Faith and Conviction" (vimeo.com/23431283). I also have a number of other films in various stages of development, which I plan on directing/producing as my film making career grows.

In animation, I have done work for Big Bad Boo Cartoons, Atomic Cartoons, AKA Cartoons, The National Film Board of Canada, The Beijing Urban Development Group and The Malaysian Sultan of Pahang, among others.

I'm the Regional Director for Raindance Vancouver, a non-profit international filmmakers' organization (raindance.org) and I host the monthly town halls of the Institute for International Film Financing (IIFF Vancouver Chapter - filmfinancing.org).

I have recorded albums and toured with various bands in the past including Malaysian punk-metal band LyMe (myspace.com/lymemusic) and Canadian gypsy-latin folk group Kola Collective (kolacollective.com).
