How I build story:
Character First
Every project begins with the people. Their desires, flaws, and contradictions shape the tone, emotion, and thematic spine of each project.
Visuals with Intent
I see the frame before the camera rolls. From tone boards to blocking, I utilize light, sound, and rhythm to serve character and story. It's not aesthetics for aesthetics' sake.
Make It Real
I craft worlds that feel lived in, not manufactured. Whether it’s a street in Santo Domingo or a post-apocalyptic bunker, it’s all built to breathe.
Every story begins with a conversation
