A story close to home
In Here Out West, I play Jorge, a Chilean father who finds solace in writing poetry in Spanish. The film weaves together stories of family, identity and community in Western Sydney.

Creativity is the thread that connects it all.
I’m an Australian-born creator with Chilean heritage, a father, and a lifelong lover of music and storytelling. I started playing classical piano at four, later discovering guitar and the sounds of Latin America.
My first children’s book, If I Could Be a Kangaroo, was published in 2021 and dedicated to the Australian animals lost in the 2019–2020 bushfires. Through books, songs, acting and poetry, I keep returning to imagination, belonging and the connections we share.
