I am a Los Angeles freelance filmmaker who is interested in, though not limited to, making films inspired by my many identities and experiences as Mexican-American, queer, and neuroscientist. I grew up in Boyle Heights and went to college at the University of California, Berkeley. I spent 20 years researching and teaching neuroendocrinology, as well as earning a PhD, before switching careers to documentary film and earning an MFA from the Stanford University Documentary Film and Video Program. Currently, I specialize in production sound in the greater Los Angeles Area.

Veronica Lopez (Associate Producer) grew up in East Los Angeles and spent 20 years researching and teaching neuroendocrinology before switching careers to documentary film. While working as a college neuroscience lecturer, she gained film and video experience by interning at the Media Education Foundation in Massachusetts, help an organization that produces and distributes documentaries about mass media. She is excited about the empathy-inducing power of film and is especially interested in telling documentary stories inspired by her own experiences as Latina, queer, and scientist. In addition to her MFA in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford University, Veronica holds a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a BA in Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley. She currently lives in the San Francisco East Bay working in freelance documentary production and editing.
