Mexican film director
Jonathan Sarmiento — Mexican Film Director
Mexican filmmaker, director and screenwriter based in Zapopan, Guadalajara. He directs feature films, series and documentaries, and founded the production house Agave Films.
As a Mexican film director, Jonathan Sarmiento starts from writing: first he finds the human question that holds the story together, then he decides how to shoot it. That order shapes his cinema and also his work for brands and institutions.
His work as a Mexican director and screenwriter includes the feature films Cuando den las tres, Insignis and Al final del camino, and the documentary series Agua Santa. Several of these have been selected and recognized at international festivals.
His film production in Mexico covers every stage: concept development, screenplay, actor direction, shooting, post-production and preparation for distribution in theatres, television and streaming platforms.
A director does not shoot scenes: he shoots human decisions.
