Nathaniel Arocho Cruz

Biography

Puerto Rican, filmmaker, and father. He was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents. At the age of 7, he moved to the island with his mother and siblings. A natural writer, even before entering the film industry, he put aside his dream of writing scripts in 2004 when, after stepping onto a film set, he realized the lack of opportunities for screenwriters on the island. After dedicating nearly 15 years to the industry both inside and outside Puerto Rico in various positions, in 2018 he decided to return to writing and focus his efforts on this field through professional initiatives and training.
