Nerris (pronounced like "Ferris") is a first-generation filmmaker, photographer, and musician driven by the mission to craft compelling musical films reflective of his mixed Mexican and Asian upbringing.

With over a decade of experience creating powerful narratives, he specializes in visual storytelling, digital production, and audience engagement.

His diverse background has led him to producing short films with 10M+ views, running digital strategy for a historic L.A. election, heading an award-winning YouTube channel, photographing a Presidential candidate, and even performing at The Comedy Store.

His original musical screenplay earned him an industry-first fellowship with The Black List, and his writing been recognized by prestigious competitions such as the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship, the Austin Film Festival, The Disruptors, Minorities in Film, and Theatre Now New York.

Throughout his career, he's collaborated with leading brands including Aputure, Walt Disney Imagineering, Cirque du Soleil, The Mighty, and more.

He’s a proud UCLA Film School graduate where he studied Directing by day, and snuck into the MFA Producing Program at night (which nearly got him kicked out). Nerris holds certificates in both human and dog psychology.

As a Los Angeles-based creative, he's dedicated to helping brands, nonprofits, and fellow creatives harness the power of cinematic digital storytelling, delivering maximum production value no matter the budget.

Always open to new collaborations, Nerris invites you to connect and explore the next great story together.
