I’m a Colombian filmmaker and video editor based in Madrid, with over 10 years of experience crafting visual stories that connect — from short films and branded content to social media pieces designed for performance. My work blends narrative depth with technical precision, always looking for the emotional core of each project.
I’ve directed and edited short films recognized at festivals like Cine al Mar (The Voice of the Sea), and tackled socially driven stories (Liberté, 39), while also collaborating on commercial and digital content for companies and artists. With a strong foundation in cinematography and storytelling, I approach each project with a clear strategy: make people feel, make people stay.
Whether I’m behind the camera or in the edit suite, I bring a thoughtful, cinematic approach — always tailored to the goals of the piece.

I wanted to explore not just what Soderbergh makes, but how and why he keeps making it — at his own pace, on his own terms, and always pushing the form.
🛠️ From scripting to shooting to editing this video, I tried to reflect that same spirit of experimentation — keeping it lean, direct, and driven by the core question: What keeps a filmmaker relevant?
