About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making films about the dead of trees and other mysteries , teaching to read, write and film.

ABOUT ME

I have been creating with cameras and computers for more than ten years ,I am also a teacher of filmmaking. I used to study Philosophy but got sick of the University and continued by myself, I have my own production house "Huitlacoche Films" we make natural and social documentary films. I am very interested in all forms of art, art history, and art experimentation (that means slacking off). Melomaniac, kind of paranoid (in a cute way), really good at procrastination and sarcasm and I love the use of parenthesis (really).

PHILOSOPHY
Film, the numbers from 0 to 21.
