I'm a Colombian filmmaker and writer based in Miami, Florida. Through the years I've been fortunate enough to film projects in diverse ways from using XR Technology to filming in Southern France. My passion for filmmaking knows no bounds, it crosses through different genres, mediums, and styles. This is why, I'm always looking for new ways to apply my sensibilities-- I'm not in the mindset of being a predictable filmmaker, but being one who explores all the possibilities this art form has to offer.

    VOYAGER (Human Lore)
    A short historical piece about Voyager, one of humanity’s most ambitious journeys into space. Launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets, the Voyager probes ultimately traveled farther than their original mission ever envisioned — past Jupiter and Saturn, toward the edge of the Solar System and eventually into interstellar space. The episode follows that extraordinary journey while focusing on the idea at its heart: humanity sending a tiny machine farther from home than anything we had ever built, carrying the Golden Record — a small collection of sounds, images and music intended to represent life on Earth should someone, someday, find it. Created for Human Lore, our short-form series exploring extraordinary stories, people and moments from history.…
    THE GREAT DICTATOR (Human Lore)
    A short historical piece about a remarkable chapter in Charlie Chaplin’s career: how his uncanny resemblance to Adolf Hitler became the basis for one of his most daring films. The episode follows Chaplin as he recognized the strange visual similarity between himself and the dictator and ultimately turned that resemblance into a weapon of satire with The Great Dictator — mocking fascism at a time when doing so was far from politically or commercially safe. Created for Human Lore, our short-form series exploring extraordinary stories and characters from history.…
    Nuremberg (HUMAN LORE)
    A short-form historical video about the Nuremberg Trials, created as part of Human Lore, a social media project that approaches history through cinematic visual storytelling. The piece was produced using AI-generated imagery and video, but every creative decision was developed and controlled manually. I designed the characters and locations, established the visual and camera language, developed each individual shot, and edited the final piece myself — including pacing, shot selection, music, sound design, and the relationship between the narration and visuals. The goal was not simply to generate historically inspired images, but to treat AI as a filmmaking tool and build a cohesive visual world in which characters, environments, cinematography, and editing remain consistent from shot to shot.…
