Hearts of Stone
Cinematography
In the heart of a bustling metropolis, Paula, a lonely street artist, entertains people as a living statue. She longs for an impossible love with Agatha, a stone sculpture next to which she can be found every day. One day, when reaching her familiar spot, she finds her stone companion replaced by an abstract, modern sculpture. After a frantic search, she discovers Agatha cast aside amidst a group of discarded, classical statues who have lost their place in the modernizing sculpture park. As the sun sets, Paula finds herself trying to wake the lonely statue from her stone slumber.
In the Hands of Puppets
Cinematography
An animated conversation, both literally and figuratively, based on interviews with patients and care providers at a psychosocial hospital. Later the artists asked friends and colleagues similar questions. In this short film, the artists use the 'online chat' form to address subjects like self-analysis, personality and social relations.
History Lessons
Cinematography
Verónica, a middle-aged highschool history teacher, leads a non eventful life: she has grownup children, grandchildren and a less than perfect marriage. This dynamic seems to be the only thing she can hold on to, as she battles a terminal illness. As she reluctantly accepts her fate, she meets Eva, an irreverent and misunderstood new student who unknowingly injects some life and enthusiasm back into her and provides her with the tools to deal with her destiny.
Titixe
Color Timer
The last peasant of a Mexican family has died and with him all wisdom has gone to work the land. Without agricultural experience, her daughter and her granddaughter will try one last planting to convince the grandmother to stay with the family land. Together you will find the vestiges of this man and his work.
Charlie and Hannah's Grand Night Out
Cinematography
Charlie is witty, inaccessible and - in her own words - fundamentally dialectic. Hannah is chatty, neurotic, always hungry and always in love. Things take an unexpected turn when one of the girls conjures magical candy that makes body parts talk, pineapples fly and through which a trip to another galaxy becomes the easiest thing in the world.
My Life As an Actor
Director of Photography

Lucifer
Director of Photography
On his downfall from Heaven to Hell, Lucifer passes through the earthly paradise, a village in Mexico, where elderly Lupita and her granddaughter Maria live. Lupita's brother Emanuel pretends he's paralyzed so he can drink and gamble while the two women tend to the sheep. Lucifer senses an opportunity and plays the miraculous healer. He forces Emanuel to walk again, seduces Maria and makes Lupita doubt about her faith. He didn't bring bad luck, he only illuminated the line between good and evil, where it didn't exist before.
