Meet Ray, a Cuban/Mexican filmmaker hailing from Austin, Texas.

Back in 2017, Ray kicked off his filmmaking journey with his first project, "Wrestling With Independence," a documentary that not only grabbed attention but also snagged him the Best Feature Doc award at the Burning Hammer Film Festival in London. It was clear from the start—Ray had a knack for telling compelling stories through the lens.

As a Camera Operator on the trailblazing "Take Pains. Be Perfect" project between 2018 and 2019, Ray injected his unique flair into the visual narrative, making every shot count. The movie would go on the premier on PBS and garner many accolades.

In 2020, Ray turned his lens towards the heart-stirring events of the George Floyd protests in "From Austin To Minneapolis," capturing the essence of the movement with raw intensity. That same year, he explored the undead lore for PBS (Exhumed: A History of Zombies), contributing to the Monstrum series with a deep dive into zombie mythology.

2021 brought a new adventure with Rooster Teeth's "Face Jam," where Ray hit the road from Austin to Colorado, documenting every moment of the epic journey. His work led to him field producing and participating in "Face Jam's Truck'd Up" the following year.

2023 saw Ray stepping up for inclusivity, throwing the spotlight on emerging filmmakers of color, and opening doors for them to shine in the filmmaking world.

Ray's not just about documentaries; his creative prowess spans directing electrifying live shows that capture the audience's imagination, producing compelling narratives for TV, and even operating cameras for high-octane reality shows. His role as Director of Photography for live events showcases his ability to create memorable visual experiences. Ray’s versatility in visual storytelling marks him as a standout creative force.

Off the clock, Ray's a laid-back guy who enjoys the company of his cherished cat, Rayo.

Ray's the kind of person who blends artistic ambition with a cool, approachable vibe, making waves across the visual storytelling domain with his innovative work and inclusive vision.

He’s also just a really chill guy.
