Hi! I am Jorge from Guatemala and I love capturing moments to communicate a message that will be relevant to our generation, I have been in the film and video editing business for over 5 years, in which I have had the oportunity of working for non profits, business and recently I had the oportunity of writing, and directing my first 30 minute shortfilm. I can do whatever you need me to do everywhere in the world, my true passion is cinematography and I try to pour it as much as I can to every project I make, from the creative thinking for the writing to the building of every scene and composition in order to deliver something that will capture your attention and communicate the message intended. To me is not about the sword, it is about the samurai who holds it and though I make sure that every shot is taken with top quality i am aware of the most important fact in filmmaking: "It´s not how it looks it´s how it feels" if you ask me which is my best job? the answer will be: The next one!
