Nestor Trujillo
Nestor Trujillo Bazán is a Cuban-American film director, screenwriter, and producer. Born in Cuba to a family of political refugees and later exiled to the United States, Trujillo was raised in the intoxicating multicultural landscape of Miami, FL where he was nurtured on a diet of classic literature, old school hip-hop, genre cinema, and an unwavering work ethic that inspired his passion for personal storytelling and artistic expression from a very early age. Endlessly fascinated by the sordid and disquiet lives of rogues and outcasts, Trujillo uses filmmaking to push brooding, visually provocative stories that reflect on the complex dynamics of Cuban-American identity and the haphazard existence of wandering souls on the fringe of society. He now resides between South Florida and Los Angeles, where he earned his B.F.A. in Film and Television Production at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. His latest dramatic short film, Memories of Development, follows a troubled Cuban youth grappling with his sexuality and masculinity amidst the arrival of Hurricane Irma.
