Hi, I’m León Felipe Troya Rodríguez, a passionate film professional with over 30 years of experience in directing, screenwriting, production, editing, and sound. I recently completed a Master’s in Socio-Environmental Studies and a Bachelor’s in Cinema, which has further enriched my understanding of storytelling and its social impact. I enjoy leading creative projects from start to finish, managing talented teams, and engaging audiences with compelling narratives.
I’m also skilled in social media management and multimedia content creation, which helps me connect directly with viewers across platforms. Fluent in Spanish and English, and with working knowledge of German, I’m always eager to collaborate internationally and share stories that matter.
