A letter to the reader:

I grew up in the blissful, yet chaotic Mexico City.

An enormous city full of colours, culture and the nicest people. My home base, even though I have been all over for the past few years. 

When I was 16 years old I went on exchange to Germany for a year. I lived in the outskirts of Potsdam, a small city next to Berlin. This was a huge change for a sixteen year-old city kid. Learning a new culture and language, dealing with very cold weather and living in a farm.  After this eye-opening experience, I decided that being stationary  was no longer an option, so I became a nomad. 

I moved to the Great White North to pursue filmmaking after high school. I wanted to show the world its beauty through my eyes and share with them the emotions that startled my body. As I submerged myself into the world of university I developed a creative thirst that led me to other artistic mediums, such as photography, literature, music and theatre. I stayed true to my passion for film, but deep inside I always knew that these multiple curiosities would eventually mold me into the artist I long to become. My journey continues and so does my growth as a person. 

In this website I share with you some of my work; stories about my crazy odyssey. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

Leire
