Cuban filmmaker with over ten years of experience in journalism and cinema. Graduated in 2018 from the University of the Arts (Cuba) and the Documentary Film Production semester in Havana at Tisch School of the Arts (New York University). My work is irreverent, impactful, and socially engaged, with a narrative and visual approach that challenges conventions.

After years of portraying the sociopolitical context that shaped me, my filmmaking has evolved into a more universal search, using body language, symbolism, and dreamlike elements to connect with the essence of being.
