WHO IS THE BER|MAN?

 

 

From a very young age, drawing rough sketches of image sequences (which he would later find out they are called "storyboards"), Gustavo Bernal-Mancheno became enthralled with the world of visual storytelling. Constantly moving between Ecuador and the Midwest of the U.S. he acquired a world perspective that has nurtured his appreciation for human stories and the power of filmmaking to convey them. He taught himself editing as a teenager (on an old, dying PC), and from then on he pursued his goals to study directing, editing, and later on, color grading.

​

He has 10+ years experience as an AE, editor, for films (narrative & doc), TV series and commercials, and 6+ years as a colorist & online. His passion for his craft has taken him to Chicago, Ecuador, Mexico City, and now Toronto, where he wishes to continue to grow professionally and collaborate with other like-minded artists.
