Summary

I'm a former Colombian Filmmaker that is living in LA, I graduated from film school a couple of years ago and decided to leave my production team behind to see what it's like to combine skills from South America filmmaking with North American Techniques, I was mostly based on DIY filmmaking for poor communities or starters since filmmaking can be a fun career for many people and it inspires people to tell stories.
