Service Offered
Born and raised in Madrid (Spain) my family migrated to the United States when I was a teenager. Upon graduating from high school in the US I went to the University of California Santa Barbara's Film Studies program. In 2000, I went back to Spain where I studied Film Editing at the CES Film School in Madrid. After working as a freelance editor on several projects in Spain, I went back to the United States to pursue a Bachelor's degree in History from the University of California Santa Barbara. Upon graduating I went on to work for Univisión's Central Coast television affiliate in Santa Barbara (California), where I worked first as a Master Control Room Operator and afterwards as editor of the nightly newscast. Between 2008 and 2010 I edited, wrote, co-directed and co-produced my first feature documentary film, The University of Nuclear Bombs, a film chronicling the role that the University of California has had in the nuclear weapons complex since the beginning of the Nuclear Age. The documentary featured interviews with Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Helen Caldicott, Richard Falk, and David Krieger among others, and was an official Selection to the 25th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival and nominated for the Fund For Santa Barbara's 2010 Social Justice Award. For the past two years I have worked as editor in documentary films, trailers, and music videos. I own my own state of the art editing suite running Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.
