I am a Director and Screenwriter born in Tijuana, Mexico. I moved to the United States of America when I was six years old where I was exposed to a country where I thought I would never fit in. Thankfully, I would be accustomed to the states and be able to speak to fellow students. I am currently attending California State University, Los Angeles where I will be graduating in the Class of 2024 with a B.A. in Television, Film, and Media Studies.

I always loved to draw characters and worlds. I always saw that as my career choice when I was younger. “I want to draw and make comic books,” I told myself. However, my career choice would change when my cousin Ivan asked me, “Hey Sebastian, do you want to make a film together?”

The film my cousin Ivan and I shot was a very special project because that was the moment I knew that filmmaking was my career goal. I was conflicted with being an artist and being a filmmaker but I asked myself, “Is this more fun than drawing?” I saw my artwork as being constant and not progressing. I decided to create short films and videos with my friends and family, and I found so much more joy and fun doing films than drawing. That was when everything changed for me and I continue to be the filmmaker that I want to be to this day.
