El Monstro del Mar's filmmaker interview

Who are you and how the hell you were introduced into the film world?

I just started making my own short films with my parents video camera when I was a teenager. I studied video production after high school and got a job as a camera assistant in television, going on to become a cameraman for 10 years.
