Raised in a devout Catholic family in New Mexico, his fascination with martyrdom, ritual, and the esoteric continues to shape his work and approach to “spiritual horror.”A graduate of NMSU’s film program, Chavez was selected for the 2019 NHMC Series Scriptwriters Program and as one of three directors for the 2020 CBS Pipeline Challenge, where he created Hope Has an Address for Homeboy Industries. His horror short, The Tongue, screened at the 43rd CineFestival San Antonio and Indie Shorts Fest 2022. Since then, he has led monthly screenwriting workshops through The LatinXorcists and hosted Shared Nightmares, a podcast exploring the fears of Latino creatives in Hollywood. He is currently developing his feature directorial debut. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/3223caf0-c617-11f1-ba03-b7505d4e7d42-rimg-w593-h740-dc181808-gmir.jpg CONTENT DISCLAIMER: The views, opinions, and thoughts expressed by the presenters are solely those of the presenter and may not represent those of the Philosophical Research Society (PRS), its affiliates, or any individuals associated with PRS.
