Ojo Verdadero Films

Drawn to the raw, the intimate, and the unsettling. These are stories from a compromised moralist — told with heart, shaped by grit, and always true. This is where my work lives. Stay awhile.

Love,

Philosophy

I’m dedicated to exploring the raw complexities of human nature through my work. My goal is to strip stories down to their emotional core, using minimal dialogue and relying on precise, intentional visuals so that every frame pushes the story forward with clarity and weight. Filmmaking is a deeply collaborative process fueled by passion and trust. I draw energy from my crew and seek out people who can guide me to elevate the project. I strive to build strong connections with my actors, guiding them through emotional journeys with image-driven direction. Together, we experiment to find authentic ways to express complex emotions beyond words. For me, films are not just personal visions—they are collective stories shaped by every hand and heart involved. Ultimately, they are a collective journey, a shared search for honesty in the shadows, and a testament to the power of storytelling to reveal the unspoken.
