Biography

  • A native to Mexico City, Salvador was aware at a very young age of his passion to tell stories. He has been an avid movie goer since he was 5 years old, taking on a particular taste for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's movies. When he was 10 years old (2002), he watched a Star Wars marathon in anticipation to Episode II: Attack of the Clones. After re-watching Empire Strikes Back, he decided he wanted to become a filmmaker. He began reading and studying the film process and in 2007 he put his skills to the test when he wrote and directed "Amor Peligroso" which was submitted to Televisa's "50 años de Telenovelas", a latin american wide contest. His project won second place. After this victory, Salvador earned the full support of his parents to continue his filmmaking career. He took acting classes for a year in 2008, participating in various theater plays including the musical "Wicked" He then worked in over 20 short films during the next few years in several positions until 2015, when he joined Sinister 7, a collective of friends, filmmakers and digital artists interested in creating original multimedia content within Mexico for a universal audience. He worked as Associate Producer in Jose Rico's short film "No es lo que Parece". Since then, he's become a producer for YouTube shows like "Dania en la ciudad" and numerous projects within Sinister 7.
