From the bustling streets of New York to the boundless realms of the digital universe, my journey has been anything but ordinary. As a storyteller at heart, I’ve always believed that narratives have the power to bridge worlds, illuminate truths, and foster unity. My path through the worlds of film and technology has been driven by a passion for creating connections—between ideas, people, and the future.

My adventure in storytelling began at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where the vibrant energy of the city and the diversity of its people inspired me to co-write and direct “The Porns,” the now award-winning musical comedy that explores the humorous and human side of cultural transitions. This project, born from a mix of curiosity and collegiate ambition, laid the groundwork for my ethos as a filmmaker: to entertain, enlighten, and challenge.

As one half of the Juegos Bros comedy film duo, I’ve had the joy of melding laughs with breathtaking visuals, pushing the envelope of what’s possible on screen with every project we undertake. My commitment to innovation extends beyond the camera, as evidenced by my early foray into technology with an entrepreneur competition winning design for a portable water desalination device, aimed at making a tangible difference in Sub-Saharan Africa.

But it’s not just about making waves in film and technology. My narrative extended into the financial sphere in 2018 with a bold prediction that paid off immensely, allowing me to fund my creative endeavors and invest further in the potential of emerging tech. This financial journey underscored a belief that’s guided me throughout my career: that foresight, when paired with creativity, can unlock extraordinary possibilities.

In founding MOGIK, I’ve aimed to fuse my dual passions for storytelling and technology, creating immersive experiences that redefine the boundaries of film and digital interaction. Our work with virtual actors and advanced VFX isn’t just about showcasing what’s technically achievable; it’s about deepening the emotional impact of our stories, making them resonate more profoundly with audiences across the globe.

My journey, from the initial spark of passion at NYU to the ongoing exploration of film and technology’s converging frontiers, is a testament to the belief that storytelling is humanity’s most enduring occupation. As we stand on the brink of a future brimming with complexity and promise, I remain committed to exploring new narratives, technologies, and opportunities for connection—always with an eye toward the stories yet to be told.

This is not just my story; it’s an invitation to join me in the ongoing adventure of storytelling, innovation, and the endless pursuit of connecting our shared human experiences.
