The Guajira is a borderland peninsula between Colombia and Venezuela of resolute natives as well as disinherited adventurers. Some there take advantage of the peripheral territory to smuggle through isolated ports and over rugged landscape. They write their rebellious proclamation in the sands of crisscrossing desert paths and their rusted motors accompany their solitary voices with an unorthodox music, animating their indiscipline and adhesion to pure movement.

His first film, MAMBO COOL (2013), exhibited at FIDMarseille, Viennale, Punto de Vista, Mar del Plata, Cartagena, among others.
