STATIC - Episodic Sci-Fi Project
|
Static, is going through another transformation. As I continue to pivot with the ever changing world of distribution, I'm looking into using YouTube as part of our distribution plan. Did you know that YouTube has over 2.5 billion monthly users globally?
Logline: When a U.F.O. appears and scars the hands of Steven, he and his father, Alfonso (Co-Founder of a rocket company) try to uncover the governments involvement of developing anti-gravity vehicles and discover a much more sinister plot of torturing astronauts in space.
This is a script that's gone through many iterations. First starting as a proof of concept, then a series pilot, now a feature screenplay. It's most recent draft was worked on through the MACEF masters program, where I was able to work with Jesus Treviño (director of many TV shows: ER, Prison Break, NYPD Blue).
Now the script will go through one more transformation as I look into creating twelve, 10 minute episodes. |
Radio Interview on The Mr. OG Show
|
In late January of 2024, I was interviewed on the Mr. O.G. show where I talked about how I began in film; from working with Michael Jackson to how Taco Bell saved my life. I have heard that my story is inspirational. I don't know about that, but it was a lot of fun to talk with such wonderful people, Mr. O.G. and Julie.
If you are working in the film business or are striving to achieve something, listen to my story and hopefully you'll be encouraged.

I've completely enjoyed the experience and sharing my passion for art, cinema and storytelling to the students at this academic institution. This has been a great way to continue my work as a filmmaker, writing my screenplays, and giving back to up and coming filmmakers.

Directing A One Act Play
|
Marisol's Christmas - Azusa Pacific UniversityRecently had the pleasure of directing the play Marisol's Christmas as part of a One Act Festival. Written by José Cruz González, it tells the story of a Mexican family, emigrating to the United States on Christmas Eve. With laughter and a few tears this play moved audiences to challenge preconceived ideas on immigration and the enduring spirit of family.
The cast was fantastic to work with. Azusa is developing some outstanding actors. Remember these names, you will be seeing them in the future especially on some of my projects. Starring: Alyssa Rojas, Devon DeLeon, Faith Orta. |
