Hi, I’m Manny Gonzalez, a creative professional with over 20 years of experience in video production, brand filmmaking, and multimedia storytelling. I specialize in crafting compelling narratives through directing, shooting, and editing high-quality video content for TV commercials, digital marketing, and branded campaigns. My passion lies in bringing stories to life—whether it’s through corporate communications, motion graphics, or experiential marketing.

When I’m not behind the camera or in the editing suite, I enjoy watching movies, taking long walks with my wife around San Diego, and spending time with our Shih Tzu-Poodle mix, Coco. I’m always looking for new creative challenges and opportunities to collaborate on innovative projects. Let’s connect!
