OUR STORY

Estevan was born and raised in Los Angeles, where both his parents are first-generation natives. Growing up all around LA, he spent most of his time between the San Gabriel Valley, East LA, and Venice, experiencing the diverse cultural tapestry that defines the city. His journey into filmmaking began in 2020 when he received a film camera that once belonged to his aunt. He was captivated by the deliberate process it demanded, making each shot feel more profound.

That same year marked the start of his production journey. After graduating from Anahuacalmecac, he remained at the school as a technology coordinator, leveraging his passion for technology, production, and storytelling to support the institution that had shaped him. His role as a former alumni working in technology coordination naturally evolved when a Levi's commercial opportunity arose to spotlight the school. Through his established position and demonstrated expertise in technology and production, he earned the opportunity to serve as production assistant and site representative while capturing behind-the-scenes moments on film with his camera. This project allowed him to discover how his technical skills, storytelling passion, and production instincts could converge into a fulfilling career path.

Through this initial project, he forged connections with industry professionals who not only inspired him but also recognized his unique blend of technical coordination experience and the distinctive cultural perspective that came from being educated at the only school in North America with an Indigenous-based curriculum integrated into the IB program. This cultural experience provided insights and storytelling approaches that other educational backgrounds simply couldn't offer. His dedication and performance led to recommendations to other companies across various sectors. Thus far, he has cultivated valuable relationships and collaborated with remarkable individuals in the field, building upon the foundation of technical expertise and profound cultural connection that began during his time as a technology coordinator at Anahuacalmecac.
