So browse around, get to know us, leave us a comment, or even better, become a registered member to receive great stuff like free movie watching of our films online. Happy browsing.

Here's the thing about the CineVeliz crew, it's a more than just a crew. We are a committed team of friends who share a common vision and an unshakable commitment for the arts. We are often confused for a "closed circle", but others will tell you that we eventually warm up to you. In fact, we promote and support San Antonio as the clearing for possibility of community for filmmakers. Our most recent friends and colleagues are Ralph Lopez and Sam Lerma, the creators of the award winning short "Trash Day". We shared our screen for our director's cut screening of "La Tragedia de Macario" in the fall of 2009. Till this day, Ralph tells us that he's never seen such a beautiful and crisp projection of his film in any other screen.

So browse around and check our our crew. You may find some things in common, and maybe we can even become facebook friends. Now that's community, or drama, whichever floats your boat.

Pablo Veliz

PABLO VELIZ. In 2006, Véliz graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a degree in communication. His participation at SAY Sí, an after school visual and media arts program, led him to a pursuit for the arts. At age 22, Véliz wrote, directed, produced, and edited his first feature film, La Tragedia de Macario, which was selected in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and several other prestigious festivals. The award winning film is based on the worst immigrant tragedy in the history of America. Today, Veliz is recognized as the most promising director from San Antonio and as a leader in the community of cinema bringing jobs for both cast and crew with a constant and impressive production of feature films. All of Veliz's films have US and international distribution.

Douglas Edward

DOUGLAS EDWARD. Douglas is a festival award-winning composer whose music has supported many films that have screened at international festivals, including the RealHeART Film Festival in Toronto, the Hollywood HD/DV Film Festival in Los Angeles, and the Cannes Film Market in Paris. Douglas received an award for Artistic Excellence in "Best Impact of Music in a Feature Film" from the 2008 Park City Film Music Festival, an award for "Best Movie Soundtrack" from the 2008 Bare Bones International Film Festival, and the Columbine Award for "Best Film Score" from the 2008 Moondance International Film Festival. Kiko Martinez from the S.A. Current had this to say about one of his films, "The best thing about the film - hands down - is the fantastic score composed by Douglas Edward".

   

Corando Martinez

Corando has been part of the Cineveliz family since late 2005. Since then, he has been part of the casting process as well as assisting as a crew member and played a vital part in the editing of three of the original scripts produced today. He developed an interest in acting in high school and has pursued that interest over the years. However, it wasn't until recently that he has been able to develop into one of San Antonio's more subtle and impressive actors, co-starring in the feature film "The Boys of Ghost Town". He feels strongly that  San Antonio has the potential to be a "break out" city for Independent Film as well as Main Stream Film and is confident that will happen in the next few years.
