Julio is an international writer, producer, and director. He recently helmed a solo film project in the Amazon rainforest, handling every aspect from writing to directing. Julio says his DePaul journey boosted his confidence and it’s thanks to his education that the film, Colors of the Jungle, received a best International Short nomination at the Palm Springs International ShortFest in 2023. Currently, he is developing a new film in his hometown in Ecuador.
