Biography

Alonso Alvarez-Barreda was born in México city and raised in the small town of Tampico, on the eastern coast of Mexico. Despite his father's best efforts, he chose to forgo a career as a professional ping-pong player to pursue his passion for filmmaking.

The short also landed him the Best Director award at the NBCUniversal Short Film Festival and nominations for Best Writing and Best Film.

The program culminated in the production of his short, The Walk, starring Max Arciniega (Breaking Bad). The short tells the story of a Mexican man and his young son crossing the border illegally.
