Who is Fernando Cattori?
Cattori was born in Mexico City and raised on Isla Mujeres, and is the youngest of three brothers. He developed a fascination with urban aesthetics and architecture from a young age. When he was nine, his father gave him a JVC camcorder, which introduced him to filmmaking early on in his life, according to Little Black Book.
He had few friends, but his observant nature led him to spend time filming. He later began editing his own work after he “hacked” an editing software.
In his teens, he trained in acting at NYFA, Yale Drama School and Casa Azul, then earned a degree in advertising and communications from Universidad Iberoamericana.
He’s also a creative director, filmmaker and photographer
