About the Director: 

A Cuban American raised in Miami, Florida, Franco digs on cheeseburgers and obscure cervezas. He has spent the last fifteen years working as an assistant director on countless television commercials, music videos and narrative films as well as having the pleasure of serving the SUNDANCE FILM INSTITUTE as a crew chief for the Summer Director’s Lab in 2009 and 2010.

As a director he has worked for such clients as Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Burger King, Coca-Cola, Ford, Toyota and The Florida Department of Health. Independently he has produced, written and directed various award winning short films with screenings at film festivals worldwide. His short film Casper & Kitty was the recipient of three Best Florida Short Film Awards and was acquired by CANAL + in 2009.

LA PAGEANT DIVA is his latest short film and will be touring festivals in 2012.

In his free time he is struggling with writing about himself in the third person and raising a young puppy saved from animal services, which fills up a great chunk of his time.
