I've spent 25 years doing what few directors can: finding the story that changes everything.
Not the story people think they have. The one underneath — the one that, once told the right way, the whole world recognizes as its own.
Caravaggio: Soul and Blood became the most-watched art documentary in Italian cinema history — and then kept going. №1 at the box office in more than 10 countries. Distributed in 40+. €2M in just 5 days. It didn't just break records. It redefined what an art documentary could do commercially and culturally, becoming a global benchmark for the entire genre.
Kobe: An Italian Story debuted as Amazon Prime's second most-watched title worldwide. A basketball player. An Italian city. A story about identity, belonging, and becoming. The whole world recognized something in it.
Costa Concordia: Voices from Disaster reached 160M viewers across 180 countries. A shipwreck everyone already knew about. What they didn't know was what happened inside the people who lived it. That's the pattern. The event is never the story. The person is.
Golden Globe for Best Documentary. Prix Europa. Forbes list of the most creative Mexicans in the world. Venice Film Festival nomination. Twenty-five years working with National Geographic, BBC, Sky, ZDF-ARTE, History Channel, Amazon Prime Video.
Not all my work has been on the big screen. As the creator of SPTV — the world's first in-house editorial channel for a luxury hotel group Starwood Hotels and Resorts — I built an editorial vision from scratch, led the launch across EMEA, Asia, and Pacific, and watched it become a benchmark the entire hospitality industry ended up following. When content strategy is right, the market doesn't just respond. It copies.
I developed the same approach at Gambero Rosso, where I helped shape one of Italy's most recognized food and wine media brands into a global content TV platform.
I started very young at Grey Advertising, building narratives for brands like Procter & Gamble, Nissan, and others who needed to reach millions and be remembered winning Cannes Advertising Awards.
The pattern was always the same. Find the story underneath the story. The one that, once told the right way, changes everything.
Then I walked the Camino de Santiago. Eight hours a day. No crew. No script. Just people — and the questions they'd spent years avoiding.
It was the most powerful work I've ever done.
→ Walk True. The Camino de Santiago. A turning point in your life.

For me, directing isn't just my profession, it's my passion.
I believe each story deserves itsown unique visual language.
Film / Documentary / Series / Videoclip / Animation / Art
Over the last 20 years
I have directed high-end documentaries and
factual-dramas for cinema and television,
as well as a wide range of successful primetime series and shows across different
genres: From Biopics to Investigative films about the Vatican. From Sports documentary to art films.
What do I really do? I turn ideas into powerful, emotionally driven stories that connect with audiences around the world.

















Born and raised in Mexico, I was named by Forbes as one of the world's most creative
Mexican artists.
While I've retained my Mexican accent, I speak Italian, English, and Spanish fluently, and
can communicate in French and Portuguese. This linguistic versatility, combined with my
multicultural perspective, allows me to connect authentically with subjects and audiences
worldwide.
Today, I live near the Vatican in Rome, a city that serves as my perfect launchpad—allowing
me to reach filming locations across the globe within hours.
