What is your favorite type of art to create?

Documentaries that inspire people to do something good for humanity and nature. I love the craft of creating human connection through love and creative visual storytelling. That's a super power to me. I strive to get better at it everyday for the love I have for my family, my friends and strangers who need help to face the atrocities that are happening around the world.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from seeing my sons grow everyday, from learning from them on how to make a better world for them through my daily decisions and actions. I'm grateful to be with the love of my life, my wife is so beautiful and gives me so much comprehension and support to undertake the passion projects that I get myself into to improve humanity. My parents also inspire me when I get to talk to them because I have a great relationship with them. Being in nature also inspires me a lot. :)

What would you do with $25,000?

I would finalize my documentary Nevado, which is focused on inspiring children and adults to take more action towards climate solutions through my personal journey of sharing the story of a disappearing snow-peak in Colombia because of climate change. This story began in 2008 when I experienced being in at Nevado del Ruíz for the first time, which was a moment that changed my life. It made me commit towards finding ways to connect with more people that are aligned in the same purpose.
