Arturo
Two Times SC Emmy Award Winner. (2019-2022)
Always writing, directing and creating New Concepts, Music Videos, Pilots, Documentaries and different content for social media, videos and photography. Always curious and searching for new ways to tell stories and reach new audiences.
I started working on Television in the year 2000 back in Venezuela at the same time I was finishing my College degree in Mass Communications with a mayor in Audiovisuals.
It was a new venture, we were doing the first Sitcom in the country. Yes, with live audiences and all.
In the year 2002 I was selected to participate in a project called: ‘Trojan Horse’ in RCTV(Radio Caracas Televisión) with the purpose of developing new talent to create small production units for the Telenovela’s Area on the Network. I had the opportunity to work with top actors, crew and producers there; and at the age of 23, I started directing scenes for internationally acclaim Telenovelas and forged a career on the Network. I directed and participated in lots of Shows being the most relevant:
Juana La Virgen
Trapos Intimos
Que Buena Se Puso Lola
Ser Bonita No Basta
Mujer Con Pantalones
Amantes
Toda Una Dama
After 6 years on RCTV,I decided to move to the next level when I was offered to direct my first TV show for Nickelodeon LATAM. I started that new path which brought me lots of new challenges and opened new frontiers. What started as a ‘small’ show in Caracas, soon became a sensation in Latin America, Brazil and the entire world:”
ISA TKM
After that success, Nickelodeon decided to do a second season of the show in Colombia and I got to travel to beautiful Colombia to do the sequel:
ISA TK+
Again, really acclaimed in Latin America, Brazil and the World.
After the production of the show ended, I stayed working with TELESET Colombia for one more project and started a production called: 3 Milagros for RCN Television.Towards the end of that project Nickelodeon called the production company and asked if I could go to Miami, USA and help them with a new show they were initiating, so I travelled to the US to start directing GRACHI, which went for 3 seasons and won lots of awards and worldwide attention.
In-between seasons, I also participated in several Telenovelashere in the US for TELEMUNDO/NBCsuch as:
Relaciones Peligrosas
Corazón Valiente
Santa Diabla
Nickelodeon has been a big part on my career and development as a director and a creator. In the years 2013/14, the success on GRACHI and the hard work of everybody involved in it, made the Network realize that the team can do the same for the US market, so we started developing a number of productions:
Every Witch Way for NICK USA that went for 4 seasons and I had the privileged to Direct the First season and do the technical direction for season 4.
Later Will Come WITS ACADEMY a spin-off that I had the opportunity to direct all 20 episodes also for Nick USA.
Between Telenovelas and shows for kids, I also participated in Escándalos VIP, which were TV movies (La Mafia de la moda, La belleza Interior, La Hija del Rey)
On the entertainment area once more for Nickelodeon LATAM, we did a Game/Cooking Show called Food Hunters.
I also participated in 7 episodes of the TV movies Milagros de Navidad forTELEMUNDO/NBC:
Solos
El Milagro del Niño Diego
Navidad en Urgencias
La Pesadilla de Candelaria
Solo de Arpa
Un Milagro en la Cocina
Una Sorpresa para Elisa
Lately we’ve been producing and directing Commercials:
