As a first generation Ecuadorian raised in the south (Asheville, NC), Damián viewed the world in an unconventional way. His intrigue with the unique beauty of darkness fuels Damián’s aesthetic vision and reflective storytelling. Moreover, his discovery of existentialism paired with life changing assaults shaped his compassion for the human soul.
This compassion is something he strives to share with the world by making films that make you feel.
He works, lives, and plays in Long Beach, CA where he founded 4th Street Productions, a commercial and creative production company that also makes time to help the environment, non-profits, and local community organizations.
- Founder, Director, and Lead Producer
We are a diverse Long Beach production company that produces films to inspire the betterment of ourselves and our community. We support conscious cinema and the utilization of all arts to educate and provoke reflective thinking and feeling. We believe films have the ability to empower the masses with wisdom, even if that wisdom is abstract, visceral, and ethereal.
