I LOVE BEING PART OF A CREW
I have been part of many productions working in different roles and learned a lot in each of these experiences.
One of theses experiences was
being a Key Production Assistant for Ivan Herrera's feature film
"Bantú Mama".
The production took place mostly in Capotillo, one of the Dominican Republic and Latin America's most infamous hoods, just before the pandemic (January 2020). Here I got the chance to meet a lot of interesting and beautiful souls that welcomed us, to their houses and streets, to bring Bantú Mama story to life. After the movie was done, we returned to Capotillo to make a wrap party with the community members that were so kind to all of us.

Another was being
the Basecamp Manager for the soon to be released feature film
by Maryse Legagneur "Le Dernier Repas"
This production took place in locations around different parts of Santo Domingo, including the Colonial Zone and Pedro Brand, during the 2023 Spring along Canadian production company Corporation ACPAV inc. Here I had the chance to set all the logistic for each location so the productions could happen. (Releasing Winter 2024)

Also got the chance to be a Prop Master for the Dominican-American rapper Loui Santana's "Superior" single video clip, also directed by Ivan Herrera. In this project, we got a 500whp + modified Toyota Altezza driven by professional drift driver Nathael Jimenez to do some stunts you can see in the video.
We made the car's livery in a magnetic material to put all decals right before
the shoot and take them away right
after with no need
to use vinyl or paint.
So the car owner didn't have to wait for more than
he should to get his car back from the production.
I owned a small production company and did a few Hip-Hop concerts, both big and small. From one
of those concerts, we met Melymel, a Dominican rap goddess with excellent acting skills. She came to us to be part of the audiovisuals projects for her singles "IDGAF" and "Si no te amara," where
I ended up serving as the Creative for the script and a P.A. for the filming for both of these videos directed by Gabriel Lantigua.
"IDGAF" won Best Video at the 2019 Premios Soberanos, the most relevant award in DR.

The clip also got a few nominations on international video clips awards.
HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEXT CLIPS AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED BEING PART OF THEM.
