About me
Carlos Funes is a filmmaker born in El Salvador, worked in TX and now operating out of New York. He's been attached to projects as a director, writer, editor, digital effects animator and more. His work has earned him more than a few awards, including multiple nods from the world famous Alamo Drafthouse's Filmmaking Frenzy and his latest Best Script award from Toronto's Wildsound. In 2006 he directed the No Talking Promo for the Drafthouse starring the late TX Governor Ann Richards.Referees:
In addition to his Clasico oeuvre, Funes has worked on projects for IBM, Lionsgate, Texas Parks & Wildlife, Droid, Blackberry, Verizon Wireless and the Alamo Drafthouse to name a few.
Funes completed work as first assistant director on "The Awakened," a feature-length thriller featuring Edward Furlong and Steven Bauer. Also, was on the post-production team on the award winning HBO Documentary "Casting By" which stars Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Robert Deniro and Al Pacino to name a few.
There's nary an aspect of filmmaking (in front of or behind the camera) that Funes can't handle. His wit as a writer and skill as a director are assets to any project.
Additional information:
Funes is also the founder of his own production company Clasico Entertainment. Under the Clasico moniker Funes has produced several crowd- pleasing shorts. The company has also recently expanded to feature-length films. One is an adaptation of his latest short "This Is Kilo 3," a film about a radio operator doing his best to aid a downed pilot who's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Funes and his partner-in-film Dan Dalbout are also furiously adapting their biting, but hilarious, short "Tobey McGraw: America United" into a full-length film titled: "South of Bexar". The script has been optioned by Wild Invention films and is currently being scheduled to be shot in New Mexico.
