Olallo Rubio

Olallo Rubio grew up in San Diego and Mexico City. He began his media career in 1995, at the age of 19, working as a DJ/host for Mexico's number one rock radio station at the time: Radioactivo 98.5 FM. In 2002, he became Managing Director of the station. During Olallo's radio years he fought for freedom of speech by challenging government and corporate censorship, both common threads on the Mexican media landscape. In 2007, he made the Mexican documentary "So, What's Your Price?", the film was screened in Central Park in New York City, The Latino Film Festival in San Francisco, The Havana Film Festival and The Guadalajara International Film Festival. Since then, he has released three more films: the surreal, psychedelic, existential feature "This is Not a Movie" and "Gimme the Power", a rockumentary focused on Mexico's most controversial rock band "Molotov," and "Ilusión Nacional," a documentary about football and its relation with politics and history. In 2018, he began working on a documentary titled "¿Por Qué La Vida es Así?" based on the podcast of the same name available on the audio-content based digital platform "Convoy Network." The film's main sources of funding were two very successful crowdfunding campaigns, and will be released for free in 2021.
