Since arriving in Los Angeles from Mexico City at age three, Carlos has built an impressive career spanning live television, sports broadcasting, animation, and documentary filmmaking. As founder of UndocuCinema—an organization championing undocumented artists in film and television—Carlos has dedicated his work to amplifying marginalized voices and telling authentic stories from the undocumented community.

With his new film MONARCA set to premiere next year, Carlos continues his mission to create inclusive spaces both in front of and behind the camera.
