During all these years in the post-production trenches, I continue learning new tools and magic tricks to be more efficient and creative.
Through CORTES CORTES studios, I'm able to deliver exciting results. Either working solo or supervising a carefully selected team of talented people.
Clients keep coming over and over, used to a reputation for excellence, problem-solving ideas, and fast turnaround.
