Common questions

BEFORE YOU REACH OUT.

Directing, production, editing, photography and creative direction. I can lead a project end to end, or plug into just the piece you need — like a straight edit on footage you already have.

It depends on scope — a single edit isn't priced like a multi-day production with a crew. Tell me what you need and I'll put together a clear quote before anything starts.

A straightforward edit can turn around in a few days. A full production, from concept to final delivery, usually takes a few weeks depending on shoot days and revisions.

Yes. Tell me your range and I'll tell you honestly what's realistic within it, and where the trade-offs make sense.

Based in Mexico, available worldwide. Send me the details of your project and we'll sort out logistics together.
