Born in the city of Leon, Guanajuato in Mexico in 1977. Interested in film at a very young age, he directed his first short fiction in the year of 2001, premiering at GIFF (Guanajuato International Film Festival).
He decided to pursue studies in cinema, moving to the city of Montreal in Canada, graduating with distinction in 2011 from the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema at Concordia University. He continued graduate school pursuing multidisciplinary visual practice, such as video art and video-installation. Working in the cross field between cinema and contemporary art, his films are informed by various modes of listening and seeing, emerging from long periods of observation and documentation. His art practice seeks to examine the specificity and geopolitics of place, exploring the possibilities laying dormant between ethnographic research, academic writing and artistic practice.
He is a recipient of several awards, such as, DOXA Documentary Film Festival Award, Mitacs Globalink research award, and the production award Programme Documentaire à Risque PRIM.
