Dying to Direct

About Me

..

I was born in Argentina where I grew up and studied Engineering at the University of Buenos Aires. I also completed the film program at the University of California Los Angeles (Extension). I am now a U.S. citizen and live in Los Angeles, where I consult for several companies on technology and web strategies. I believe I have stories to tell, and directing embodies the things I love doing and things I can do with ease. I always loved music (I had a band in high school), photography and movies. While studying engineering, I enjoyed optics and lenses, and it has also helped me to keep up with technology and gadgets. All these facets are brought together in film directing, where I..ve felt at home ever since I started doing it.

My Interests

Film, muisc, photography, horses, and traveling.

I'd like to meet:

All these people have made it to the top of their respective fields and have become household names by having talent, determination and sheer hard work. I admire that, and hope to meet them some day.

Its All Wrong, but its Alright

I have to say my piece about American Idol. Saying it was WAY too early for Michael to leave is a HUGE understatement. Trying to be 100% objective, I still can't say that there's another contestant mo...

What comes to mind when you think of 'bodacious'? If I said to a woman, "that was a bodacious move" it would be a compliment, she did something that was bold and brazen and full of confidence, with a...
