Hi there, Oscar here. Let me introduce myself to you online… for now. Hopefully, we’ll meet in person in the near future.

As a kid, I tended to be quite obsessed with film, tv, and all things moving imagery. That being said, my surroundings were always nudging me in the direction of other creative passions and I never considered filmmaking an actual possibility. Never, until all changed at 16 years of age when I picked up a camera for the first time with an explicit creative goal in mind.

After completing my high school education, I took a gap year to ponder where I wanted to study, work on submissions necessary to get into said universities, and freelance as a filmmaker.

I ended up securing places at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and Ringling College of Art and Design, receiving a Dean scholarship for the latter, in fact.

Though honoured as I was by getting into two top 25 ranking film schools of the US, I decided I would not become the filmmaker I set out to be through formal education and declined both offers.

So, I took another gap year, freelancing, writing, and self-educating. And another one after that. And a couple more thereafter. I’ll probably still be counting them when I’m 80.

As a director, I’m gen-z trend-focused, visually technical, and I try to put the talent’s performance first. I do my utmost to make sure that no aspect of the piece is random and no decision is made without reason.
