hi! My name is Jose. I build complicated things for fun, for companies and for the future.
I was born in Havana and raised in New York City. I studied at Regis High School and Williams College.
In San Francisco and Los Angeles, I’ve worked in education, public media, digital media and the arts.
In a previous life, I made these movies:
- ISA (2014) is a weird after school special about a Mexican-American dreamer.
- Ana Maria in Novela Land (2015) is a light comedy about a smart aleck who switches places with a telenovela villain. (On Amazon)
- Reversion (2015) is a potboiler about memory and money.
With the help of wonderful friends, I have written a few essays and written-produced some videos, made art and played music.
Our original story, Loops, starring Vivica Fox and Teresa Ruiz was distributed by Audible. It’s scary good.
A while ago, we had a wonderful time on a post-modern TV series with Don Cheto.
Recently, I helped mitú make the new television with shows like Link in Bio and crema.
Sometimes I direct commercials for Sandwich.co
I have a weblog and also a newsletter.
If you’d like to get a hold of me, please email jose @ my work address.com
Thank you for visiting!
Bonus: my Insta Selfies series, Winter 2018-2019 (proto-TikTok? post-Vine!)
