DIRECTOR, WRITER & PRODUCER FROM EL SALVADOR.
I'm a director, writer and producer from El Salvador. I make theater that borrows from cinema and films that borrow from the stage, chasing the depth of one and the dynamic energy of the other.
In 2016 I founded Black Coyote, where we've turned clothing stores and unconventional spaces into theaters because nobody told us we couldn't, made films in a country nobody thought made films, and built every production the same way: from scratch, made to run once, never repeated, always with Salvadoran artists, the veterans and the first timers.
The goal hasn't changed: make people feel something they can't shake on the drive home.
This site is where I keep all of it. The productions, the photography I shoot when I'm chasing light instead of a deadline, the journal entries about what the work costs and what it gives back, and the occasional thought that doesn't fit anywhere else.
I built it because social feeds eat everything and remember nothing, and the stories from this small, loud, impossible country deserve a place that holds.
