About Ramiro
For PRODUCTION and FILM: Winner of six Telly Awards; three REMI Awards from Worldfest Houston, Best Short Film at Ft. Lauderdale Int'l Film Festival, Best Director Palm Beach Film Festival, Best Innovative Short at Orlando Urban Film Festival, Best Trailer at various international film festivals, and more.
For SCREENPLAY... 1 GAIA screenplay Award from Moondance Int'l Film Festival, Best Screenplay from Palm Beach Film Society, an Honorable Mention from American Gem Screenwriting Competition, 1st place Screenplay at The Indie Gathering Film Festival.
In 2018 I was asked to be a JUDGE for Scriptapalooza Screenplay Competition.
I sold my soul early in life to capitalism and became a CPA / auditor for several international fortune 500 companies. I made a few short films, wrote some scripts, and won several awards during that time. After a decent corporate career, I have come back to my lifelong passion...
5 years ago, I failed to raise the $2 - $5mm needed to make my feature film Swamp Killer (you can see the award-winning concept trailer in the video section of this profile). That failure kicked my ass. After a 5-year hiatus licking my wounds, I regrew a pair and am currently writing a new script that will utilize much of the footage shot in 2017. I'll shoot the film with my production company's new Black Magic Ursa MiniPro G2, set for 2023. Oh, and this year I'm releasing a low-budget feature shot over 10 years ago. With the new distribution marketplace, this should be interesting.
Immediate need... wardrobe design for the swamp creature as I'm not happy with what we previously came up with.
Wish me luck!
Unique traits: 2nd degree Black Belt Shotokan. Lifelong Spearfisherman - held the unofficial record for largest African Pompano ever speared to date back in the 80s. Fortune 500 CPA turned Filmmaker = passed the CPA exam within the first 3 attempts with scores in the 80s. in 2012 I did a cross country solo journey on my Harley to the Big Bend in Far West Texas. Won a Bronze Telly for the ensuing musical short film of that trip... "El Despoblado."
