His first feature as Director, ¿Quién diablos es Juliette?, was presented on Festival Internacional de Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano de La Habana, also on Muestra de Cine Mexicano in Guadalajara and on the Sundance Festival (Winner of Best Latin American movie). There are different unusual characteristics on this film, besides the lack of script, it was entirely illuminated with natural light, any of the main characters are professional actresses. ¿Quién diablos es Juliette? Was exhibited in Guadalajara. Based on his experience in musical videos, the movie has its own languaje similar to videoclips. After this movie, we worked again as cinematographer for movies like Comandante (Dir. Olvier Stone) in Spain; The Documentary America Undercover (Dir. Jon Alpert), and Cuatro Labios, Timbiriche: La misma piedra, which he directed. His last work was South of the Border, (Dir. Oliver Stone).
