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.

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 shooting "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 live shows that capture the audience's imagination, producing compelling narratives, and operating cameras for high-octane reality shows.

Ray has a cat named Rayo and he will do anything for him.

He’s also just a really chill guy.
