Iván Cantú-Villarreal (he/him) is a Mexican writer/director born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. In 2001 at eleven years-old he immigrated to Dallas, Texas with his mom and brother due to a lack of opportunity in their home country. As a culmination of award-winning projects he led as writer/director that were recognized in both national and international film festivals, an opportunity to join the team that would bring his idol’s Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio to the big screen presented itself which led him to move his life to Portland, where he’s continued to grow his career as a writer/filmmaker.
