Profile

In 2002, THE LAST MEAL, a dive into the absurd and the horror of Huntsville, Texas—capital of the death penalty in the USA—was his first feature film. After several years away from cinema, he directed DARK SUNS in 2018. The epic journey into the heart of the wave of violence that is hitting Mexico has won a dozen awards (CPH DOX, BAFICI, Hamburg film Festival, Nashville Film Festival, etc.) and been presented at numerous festivals. Directed in 2022, LA GARDE BLANCHE is his second feature film shot in Mexico.
