BIO
Creative Director | Cinematographer
Narrative - Commercial - Doc
Adolfo Cantú-Villarreal is a Mexican Filmmaker and Cinematographer currently based in Portland, Oregon.
Born and raised in the mountains of Monterrey, México — he fell in love with cinema from a very young age. Shortly after that, he developed a magnetic pull towards any and all cameras and their ability for storytelling. Since then, he's been searching and creating films that captivate and resonate. His visual style seeks cinematic poetry in every frame; images that go beyond reality, images that inspire a feeling or reaction.
Adolfo believes in the richness of diversity. In his projects and through collaborations, he strives to tell the stories of the underrepresented and to showcase the artistry and talents of people of different backgrounds both in front and behind the camera.
His films have been shown in festivals around the world and featured in VICE, PBS, ICON Germany, The New York Times -- his brand work includes Volvo, Nike, Ampere, Skullcandy, Mazda, among others.
