About Francis
I’m Francis, a filmmaker, cinematographer, editor, and film production instructor at NYU Tisch. My work spans fiction, documentary, commercial projects, live events, and independent films produced in the United States and Latin America.
As a filmmaker, I’m especially interested in visual storytelling, natural performances, documentary approaches, and finding the right cinematic language for each project. I’ve worked professionally as a director, director of photography, camera operator, producer, and editor, which allows me to understand the full filmmaking process from the first idea through the final cut.
At NYU, I advise students as they develop, prepare, shoot, and complete their films. I enjoy helping filmmakers clarify what they want to communicate, work through creative and technical problems, and make stronger choices with the resources available to them.
I work with students at different experience levels and adapt my teaching to their goals, interests, and individual projects.

My name is Francis, and I teach filmmaking through the practical process of developing, shooting, and editing real projects. I focus on how story, performance, composition, lighting, sound, and camera movement work together.
I teach film production at NYU Tisch and work professionally as a director, cinematographer, camera operator, and editor across fiction, documentary, commercial, and live-event production.
A typical lesson is built around your goals. We may review footage, break down a scene, develop a visual approach, plan a shoot, solve camera or lighting problems, or work through an edit. Lessons can cover cinematography, directing, documentary filmmaking, working with actors and non-actors, improv and scripted, production planning, sound, Adobe Premiere Pro, film-school portfolios, and feedback on works in progress.
My approach is direct, practical, and personalized. I help students understand why a creative choice works, solve production problems, and develop a visual language of their own.
Lessons are suitable for beginners, film students, college applicants, independent filmmakers, and working professionals looking for detailed project feedback.

Francis is a consummate and passionate professional. A creative and pragmatic mind that brings magic to any set they are on. I've worked with him on projects ranging from vertical short films to music videos, and they always deliver and elevate the piece.
Francis has a real gift for breaking down technical filmmaking stuff in a way that just clicks. As a director, producer, and cinematographer and many more, he just brings genuine, hands on wisdom. The guy just gets cinema. I always go to him with so many question marks in mind but leave with confidence and ease.
