His directorial debut, The Sacred (2009), won multiple awards, establishing his reputation for gripping storytelling and striking visuals. Most recently, he co-directed the multi-award-winning short Brides of Jesus, which garnered over 80 international awards in directing, cinematography, and editing.
When he's not lurking behind the camera, Jose is busy amassing vinyl records (it's not hoarding if it's vinyl!), dominating world championships in pasta and arepa consumption, and recommending Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom as the perfect date-night movie. His love affair with horror began at age five, when he snuck into his parents' bedroom and popped The Exorcist into the Betamax - love at first fright.
He resides in Los Angeles, California.
