Alejandro Jodorowsky once stated: “I ask of cinema what most North Americans ask from psychedlic drugs”. I ask the same thing. As a filmmaker I’m interested in the unexplored possibilities of film narrative, the use of metaphorical symbolism, intertextuality, non linear storytelling, and of course…braking all kinds of rules!

I read all kinds of things: Screenplays, essays about the influence of socio-political ideologies in Aesthetics, books about filmmaking and film appreciation, texts related to philosophy, history, politics and propaganda. Short stories and novels by Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, H.G. Welles, George Orwell, William Burroughs, Hunter S. Thompson, Subcomandante Marcos and Alejandro Jodorowsky, I also enjoy detailed biographies of the filmmakers I worship.
