About

Armando Aparicio is a Los Angeles based, Emmy-winning Salvadoran/American filmmaker and artist. After almost a decade living and working in Central America on commercials, music videos, and narrative films, he returned to Los Angeles where he now works as a Director, Cinematographer, and Editor on progressive, short-and-feature-length documentaries. His most recent work can be seen on such platforms Univision, The Intercept, KQED, The Nation, PBS NewsHour, CBS Originals, Bloomberg, and Time100.

Armando received his undergraduate degree in Character Animation from CalArts and studied visual art at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. He has taught film and art at the university level and feels strongly that his background in the visual arts shapes the way he tells stories.
