Amilcar Monterroso

Amilcar Monterroso began his career in the entertainment industry writing music for electronic dance music producers, AJ Mora and Richard Vision. Amilcar went on to write music for HBO, Coke-a-Cola, Univision Music and Grammy award winner Coolio. In 2008 he made the leap from music production to film production and while attending California State University, Los Angeles, he earned awards for Best Short Film, (Life is too Short), Best Song (Survive All the Pain), Best Short Script, (American Terrorist) and best PSA, (Remix Our World). After earning a degree in film production, Amilcar became an assistant editor at LATV in Los Angeles and gained experience developing youth programing. In 2009 after volunteering for N.A.L.I.P and LALIFF Amilcar realized that Hollywood and Latino producers were not creating films for the exploding Latino youth market. Seeing this as an opportunity, he decided to produce one himself. Amilcar then teamed up with Spencer Longmore and formed Voltius Digital to produce social advocacy documentaries and feature films.
