Héctor M. Valdez, a talented filmmaker hailing from the Dominican Republic, has been dedicated to his craft since 2009. His early beginnings saw him directing and producing his first short film, "El Fallo", a testament to his creative vision.
Upon completing his studies at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Valdez returned to his native Dominican Republic in 2012, where he began working on his first feature-length film, "Al Sur de la Inocencia".
