GEIST: ANIMATED SERIES DIRECTOR
I’m creator, co-producer and director of GEIST: an animated horror western based in 1920’s Mexican Cristero war. I work hand to hand with writers, concept artists, character designers, storyboard artists, musicians and voice actors to bring to life my vision for the animated series.
I worked hand by hand with illustrator Jair Castañeda to create characters that work with the script and visual narrative to convey the correct emotions on the audience
The designs follows the concept of diesel punk mixed with Mexican revolution, but also shows the contrast in the characters around the main topic which is “redemption”
After failing to protect a magical codex that threatens to merge our world with the Underworld, Teo (55) fled home. Haunted by his sins, he gets a shot at redemption by helping Dalia (14), his descendant, tasked with the same mission. The codex is being hunted by the killer of Dalia’s parents: Timotheus (41), an occultist mercenary. He seeks the power of the codex to make up for his biggest mistake: killing his daughter.

We had to make sure that the music fused the concepts of “diesel punk” “western” “Mexico” and “horror” Our music is inspired in pieces created by Bill Elm and Woody Jackson and the classics of western such as Ennio Morricone but infusing the essence of the mariachi of the land of Tequila.
