Marco Alfredo Páez, a visionary immigrant hailing from Quito, Ecuador, forged his path in filmmaking not through the hallowed halls of academia, but through relentless grit, unyielding passion, and an unbreakable commitment to the craft. Eschewing traditional film school, he immersed himself in the raw, hands-on world of cinema-tirelessly working, volunteering, and interning across motion pictures, film festivals, and industry events. His debut short film, Amelia, erupted onto the 2013 festival circuit, earning acclaim and heralding the arrival of a bold new voice. Today, Marco's first feature film commands the global stage, streaming on Apple TV and beyond, a testament to his unstoppable drive.
Born into a diplomatic family, Marco's upbringing was a tapestry of worldly experiences, weaving a profound sense of purpose into his soul. From this rich foundation emerged a fierce mission: to amplify the silenced, to champion the overlooked, and to breathe life into the stories of minority communities and the LGBT community-of which he stands as a proud, unapologetic member. His art is not mere entertainment; it is a clarion call for justice, a beacon for the marginalized, and a legacy of representation that resonates far beyond the screen.
