BIO

I am U.S. born, but was raised in Spain. I hold a B. A. in Communications from Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1984-89), and an M.F.A  in Film Editing from the American Film Institute in Los Angeles (1991-94). I am fluent in English and in Spanish. 

 

Since 1993, I have combined my art and film skills as a production illustrator in Hollywood. In 1996 I joined IATSE's Local 790, Illustrators and Matte Artists (now part of Art Director's Guild, Local 800), I've worked in high profile Hollywood films with directors such as Jean Pierre Jeunet (Alien IV), or Rob Minkoff (Stuart Little 2), and have specialized in conceiving stylized visuals and technically complex VFX shots.

 

In 1999 I started a long and fruitful collaboration with director / producer McG, having worked on all of his films, beginning with Charlie's Angels. In addition to helping stage shots in my capacity as storyboard artist, I also directed  splinter units for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, We Are Marshall, and This Means War, as well as a Second Unit in Terminator Salvation (at which time I joined the DGA as a director.) I also received Associate Producer credit in We Are Marshall and Stay Alive .

 

As an illustrator, I bring along a broad experiential base as second unit director, film editor, screenwriter as well as award-winning author of short fiction to help bring each director's vision to the screen.
