FILMMAKER

About Me

I was Born in South America, Colombia and raised in New York City and Miami, I'm a filmmaker that has utilized my life experience to bring to the screen innovative approaches that truly captivate the audience.Ballet and musical theater were my first passions of the performing arts, and I traveled the world dancing with such prominent companies as the Boston Ballet, Ballet Internacional de Caracas, and the Milwaukee Ballet. I performed in West Side Story, The Music Man and Guys and Dolls, just to name a few.I wound up back in New York City, on Broadway, performing in Cats. When an unfortunate injury ended my dance career, that's when I turned my creative talents towards the art of filmmaking.I have produced and directed syndicated television specials, commercials, and have produced 4 independent feature films in South Florida. Due to my choreographic skills I have specialized in music videos.In 1989 I joined a major production house in N.Y.C. as executive V.P. and program director, where I served such clients as NBC, ABC, HBO, ESPN, MSG, Polygram Records and Grey Advertising. During this time I was nominated for an Emmy Award for editing.I have been a judge for the Latin Emmy's and served 2 years as President of the Florida Motion Picture & Television Association. I'm a proud father of 4 children and currently sing in the choir at Unity on the Bay church in Miami.
