Some stories aren't told.
They're inhabited.
Miguel Flatow
Cancún, México
Born in Mexico, raised on its edges. At seventeen, he crossed the border on a full scholarship to Kenyon College — double major in Film Direction and Literature. Then NYU. Then Hollywood. Represented by CAA.
He directed his first feature film — Va Por Diego — with an iPhone and seventy thousand pesos. Written, directed, produced, and edited alone. That film reached the Festival de Morelia, the Dublin International Film Festival, and won Grand Winner at the Cannes World Film Festival. Director Adam McKay — Vice, Don't Look Up — presented the film in person in Ireland.
He returned to Latin America not to tell a story, but to build the universe where many stories live. He is the founder of Cocolín — the children's brand defining a generation — and the author of the spiritual essay Lo que brilla dentro es para siempre.
He doesn't work for the industry. He works for the children they'll become.
