Film

"Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls." – Ingmar Bergman
For me, film isn’t just a job or a craft – it’s the living thread that weaves together culture, memory and humanity. It represents A Bridge Between Worlds: From my roots in Monterrey and Mexico City, through the multicultural pulse of New York, to life in Germany, cinema has been the medium where language synthesizes, tradition and emotion into images that speak across borders. A Vessel for Truth and Emotion: Whether shooting a documentary or orchestrating a fictional narrative, I’m drawn to the honest heartbeat of people’s stories – their struggles, hopes and joys – using light, camera movement and sound to bring those inner lives vividly to the screen. It’s a Tool for Connection and Change: I believe that when we see our own experiences reflected back at us – our triumphs, our doubts, our capacity for love – we open the door to empathy and collective growth. Film, for me, is a path toward deeper self-knowledge and a catalyst for social evolution. A Form of Cultural Stewardship: Every captured frame is a small act of preservation, archiving moments in time so that future generations can witness where we’ve been, how we felt, and what we believed.

In short, film for me is both mirror and map: it shows us who we are today, and guides us toward who we can become tomorrow.
