Hi, I’m Adolfo Pedroza Tello, a filmmaker and writer based in Oslo with roots in Mexico. I’m currently pursuing an MA in Screen Cultures at the University of Oslo and have produced, written, directed, and edited multiple short films, including UNSEEN, which earned Best Film and Best Director at CRE:8 Edinburgh College. My work often explores the relationship between mass media, politics, and social commentary, blending practical production experience from television with cinematic storytelling. I enjoy collaborating across roles—writing, directing, and producing—while coordinating diverse teams and crews. I’m proficient with industry tools like Final Cut Pro X, Da Vinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Celtx, and I’m continually developing my craft through academic study and live projects to tell socially resonant stories that travel across borders.
