More about me

I’m a Chilean-Australian filmmaker, director, and producer based in Brisbane, and the Co-founder of Tremendo Productions. In 2026, my short film We Met Before was shortlisted for Tropfest, one of the world’s largest short film festivals.My relationship with storytelling began early through acting, performing in theatre productions from a young age. That experience shaped the way I understand story, emotion and performance, and continues to influence my work behind the camera.Over time, my focus shifted from performing to creating. I became driven by the desire to develop stories from the ground up, shaping tone, character and world with intention. That impulse led to the creation of Tremendo Productions, a platform for developing narrative-driven films with a strong authorial voice.Having worked as an actor, I approach directing and writing with a deep respect for performance. I value emotionally grounded storytelling and believe the most powerful films are built on authenticity, trust and human connection.Today, my work spans narrative film projects across formats, always guided by cinema as craft rather than trend. This journey began on stage, but behind the camera is where I found my true voice. And this is only the beginning.Let’s create something tremendo.
