About Me/Experience

🎥 About Me
I am a Cuban filmmaker with a profound passion for telling stories that cross borders and touch hearts. Graduated in film and television direction from the University of Arts in Cuba (ISA), my work has been showcased in both cinemas and on television across Cuba and at various international venues. After moving to the U.S. in 2017, I founded JoFE (Youth in Front of the Mirror) and Sisy’s Film. Through these ventures, I continue to explore the limitless possibilities of cinema to connect cultures and encourage dialogue. Additionally, my expertise extends to directing photography and editing music videos for artists from Sony Music, among others, applying my creative vision and technical skills to produce impactful visual content.
