The Director

Henry Rivero, filmmaker and director

Born in Mérida, Venezuela, and raised partly in Bloomington, Indiana, his fascination with filmmaking began while watching movies in local theaters and experimenting with a Video8 camera his father gave him.

He studied at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas (Cum Laude) before earning his MFA in Film Production & Direction at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Over two decades, he has directed 80+ television commercials across Latin America, Spain, and the United States, alongside series, music videos, and feature films.

His short films screened at Sundance, Biarritz, and the London Latin American Film Festival.
