About the Director

Fernando “Nando” Galarza Carter is a director and cinematographer whose work lives at the intersection of documentary truth and cinematic storytelling.Rooted in cultural awareness and lived experience, his films focus on people — not performances — and on moments that reveal meaning rather than manufacture it.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Story has always been a way to understand the world — and my place in it.I’m drawn to stories that sit quietly with people, that allow space for contradiction, silence, and humanity. My work is influenced by documentary realism, restrained visual language, and a belief that how a story is told is just as important as what is shown.Whether working with nonprofits, public agencies, or mission‑driven brands, my goal remains the same: to create films that feel honest, respectful, and enduring.
