Audiovisual Communicator. (Santiago de Chile, 1978) his approach to filmmaking is from the Direction of Photography where he deepened his studies in the city of Barcelona, Spain in 2002 at the Escola de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya, ESCAC. Back in Chile, in the middle of 2004 he founded with Juan Pablo Sallato Villano, an audiovisual production company that was born from the need to join the creative forces of a visual artist and a filmmaker in the same space. In this way, his work is developed between the documentary and fiction genres, both in film and for TV. Within his filmography, his feature-length documentaries "Beyond these Walls" stand out, a film that investigates the complex and fascinating figure of the Chilean artist Juan Downey, and "Red Eyes", a film that explores the relationship between soccer and defeat in Chilean society, and which to date is the most watched documentary in the history of Chilean cinema. His work in fiction has been marked by the permanent search to link himself with projects based on real events, where his work for Chilean public TV "Los Archivos del Cardenal" stands out. This series was set in the mid eighties and was inspired by the work of a group of professionals who fought against the human rights abuses of the Pinochet dictatorship, and the acclaimed mini-series "Zamudio, Lost in the Night," a production that, based on the brutal murder of a young gay man, shows the enormous gaps of inequality from every point of view in the composition of Chilean society. His last collaboration for TV was the period production for Fox+ "Sitiados", a production that deals with the relationship of the Spanish conquerors when confronting the native peoples of southern Chile. In 2020, he is premiered at 42nd Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival his first fiction film "Kill Pinochet", a film that narrates the adventures of a group of young people who one Sunday afternoon in 1986 tried to end the life of the dictator Augusto Pinochet.
