Mario Torres Torres

MARIO TORRES TORRES (they/them) is a Purepecha Indigenous filmmaker and organizer based in Tongva Land, Los Angeles, CA. Born in Michoacan, Mexico and immigrating at the age of six has shaped the stories they tell. Sitting around a campfire drinking café de olla and listening to elders pass down their stories sparked their curiosity in the art of storytelling.

Now, they are pursuing a career as a Film Producer and Sound engineer to continue the work of great creatives that push the boundaries of media. Their aim is to provide a restorative platform to dismantle the lack of diversity and amplify representation in visual culture. In 2018, Torres Torres received a B.A. in Television, Film and Media Studies from Cal State LA and is a leading member of the Undocumented Filmmakers Collective.
