I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, where I worked as a video editor for documentary and news. I moved to New York City in 2014 to study Cinematography. After graduating, I worked as cinematographer on a number of short films that have been selected at the New York Independent Film Festival, Barcelona Planet Film Festival, and Wathann Film Festival, among others. My latest short film, "Woodside" was awarded Best Screenplay and Best Fiction Film at Cityvisions 2018.
