Working for Alvaro was great, he was one of the first producers I had to work for, and he was really helpful in every way that he could, trying to accommodate everyone from the crew to make them feel comfortable and able to work in a good environment, even though our budget was limited. I think he did a great job with such a tight budget keeping his crew happy and content.

Álvaro has outstanding organizational and management skills. As a 1st AD, he was able to get a great number of set ups per day, while making sure everyone was happy and aware of what was going on. I have worked with him on other projects and he has always shown the same professionalism.

    • Production Manager
      • Nov 2018 - Nov 2019

      For the last year I've worked in the Venezuelan production of "Les Miserables". Primarily I started the production as a Production Assistant in the casting process. As the project further developed I moved up to a Production Manager working hand in hand with the General Producer, Claudia Salazar. Undertaking a project of this magnitude was incredible and doing it for the first time ever in Venezuela was truly an honor. While the cast was in rehearsals, my main task during preproduction was helping out the production designer find all the required material needed for set construction. Because I was out and about a lot I also got asked to acquire different products and material for every department. Once we had moved into the theater I was tasked with managing our orchestra which counted with over 45 musicians. The show only had 11 presentations but the owners of the rights, Cameron Mackintosh, his team and original music composer for the show, Claude-Michel Schönberg, were delighted with the production and have granted us the rights to take the show on a tour though different countries in South & Central America.

      Alpine Ski Instructor during the month of February for children ages 10 - 13 Having recently obtained my BASI Level 2 certification I was employed part time for the month of February to teach children alpine skiing. Director, Jon West, took a chance with me and gave me two large groups of 5 to 8 kids each day to take out on the mountain and train. It was a very rewarding job and due to my performance was asked to come back again the next season with a part time job.
