You can check out our review of his most recent short film Gratification here. For a small snippet:

“In this short film there is a well-utilized amount of camera movement that adds to the production value of the piece. The cinematography by Edgar Saenz Kuri was beautiful in the ability to provide clean, natural light in both high key and low contrast situations. The score by Eduard Canseco was touching, elevating the visuals on screen throughout. Lastly, the acting was great from the entire cast, providing a great nuance to each character portrayed.”
