Pablo Proenza

Critically acclaimed filmmaker Pablo Proenza has been receiving rave reviews for his work ever since his break-out film - a 33-minute, 16mm short titled ViDi - was screened at festivals around the world. A passionate cinephile from an early age, Pablo was given his first camera at the age of eight. Since then, he has been working in all aspects of film production: writing, directing, producing, shooting and editing. The son of Cuban-American immigrants (an economist for the United Nations and a gifted ceramicist), Pablo had an international upbringing (Washington, D.C.; San Jose, Costa Rica; Rome, Italy; Miami, Fl). During this time, Pablo was educated in two different school systems (British and American) and grew up fully trilingual (English, Spanish, Italian). These wide-ranging experiences have had an enormous influence on all of Pablo's work, including his highly acclaimed thesis film, Vidi, a futuristic love story chronicling a long-distance videophone relationship. Pablo's most recent film is the feature length supernatural thriller, Dark Mirror (2008), which he wrote and directed.
