WHO IS THE BER|MAN?
From a very young age, drawing rough sketches of image sequences (which I would later find out they are called "storyboards"), I became enthralled with the world of visual storytelling. Constantly moving between Ecuador and the Midwest of the U.S. I acquired a worldly perspective that has nurtured my appreciation for human stories and the power of filmmaking to convey them. I taught myself editing as a teen (on an old, dying PC), and from then on I pursued my goals to study directing, editing, and later on, color grading.
​
I have 10+ years experience as an AE & editor for films (narrative & doc), TV series and commercials, and 6+ years as a colorist & online. My passion for this craft has taken me to the U.S, Ecuador, Mexico City, Canada, and now back to the U.S where I wish to continue to grow professionally, tell visual stories, and collaborate with other like-minded creatives.
