Welcome!
I’ve been working in the film industry for more than decade, and I created this site to share. Not just my work, but also the battle stories and lessons that I’ve learned and other non-film adventures and projects.
There’s the projects that I’ve written, directed or done visual effects on. Also, if you’re here for the Articles, check out my blog.
Sincerely,
Carlos Aldana
