I believe in Mexico there's a big culture of moviegoing, both studio and indie. I think here in the US that's not the case because Latino communities don't have access to indie films. If you go into communities of color you will only find the big theater chains which only play the blockbuster genre films.

I think my biggest advice to filmmakers is to look into the many digital platforms that exist for you and your team to distribute your film.

I hope my visual language inspires others to tell their stories and challenges people's thinking.

I think staying away from labels is what makes my films refreshing.

There is lots of pressure to make a GOOD film. And not just a GOOD film but one that will somehow stand out in the sea of GOOD films.

I think making shorts is really about giving yourself the opportunity to learn what your strengths and weaknesses are. That's really important to know before getting to your first feature. In many ways you can't afford to make too many mistakes while on that feature.

I feel like social media is something that has yet to be considered a viable platform for marketing in the industry.
