In the years following, he has made several short films which have been selected to numerous film festivals and have earned multiple awards and nominations. In 2022, with his short film "The Fallen", he was accepted into Hola Mexico's Tomorrow's Filmmakers Today program and had his first theatrical screening in Los Angeles among his peers. He has now made his feature film debut with "Her & Him", currently in its festival run, and is developing his second feature, "The Big Swing".
