I trust instinct more than theory. A frame doesn’t need validation if it carries truth. Film Fiesta is built on that belief, a place where films are valued for intent, honesty, and emotion, not budgets or trends. Film Fiesta started as a reaction to gatekeeping, to silence, to the idea that cinema needs permission to exist. As Film Fiesta’s founder and CEO I see it because I want to, because stories are louder than resources and ideas refuse to wait. We didn't start FF to promise red carpets or trophies. We promise conversations, curiosity, and moments that linger. Film Fiesta is messy, evolving, and deeply human just like cinema itself.
I have always believed that cinema is not merely an entertainment, but a powerful cultural and social practice and sometimes beyond that. I believe movies have the ability to delve deeply into people's minds. As Film Fiesta's founder and COO, I envision it as a growing cultural entity with long-term impact. That encourages intellectual curiosity, supports filmmakers, and promotes pathways for community engagement.
