Sound Design
and Scoring for Film
I grew as a composer and sound designer based on a tradition that believes Sound and Music in Film are intrinsic, fundamental aspects of filmmaking. Therefore, I suggest that the collaborative work I do alongside directors should start as early as the first draft stage, so the film would be made thinking in Sound.
Latin American Cinema, documentaries and independent films are frequently where my productions can be found. Whatever the project is, I would love to collaborate with anybody who strongly believes their films have a place in the world, so I can help them blossom through my craft.
