director [US]
Mateo Mejia
Folding AI experimentation into traditional workflows, Bogotá-born, Houston-raised director Mateo Mejia is part of a new wave of hybrid filmmakers redefining how stories are told. With millions of viral views and a cult following for his experimental shorts, Mateo distills cinematic worlds and compelling characters into bite-sized pieces that hint at much larger narratives. Grounded in the language of classic cinema, he pulls from an eclectic toolbox — sweeping from iPhones, CRT monitors, mixed-media to cinema rigs and generative video — to craft work that feels both cinematic and raw, creating something completely new.
