Fran mendez

Writer - director - editor

As a filmmaker, I aim to create stories that entertain, inspire, and evoke wonder.

I kickstarted my career by fine-tuning my advertising skills at J. Walter Thompson and various production companies.

From there, my passion for film led me to pursue an M.F.A. in Film at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. 

I've been fortunate to have some of my works recognized by the American Advertising Awards (ADDYs) and, more recently, the Global Sustainability Film Awards (GSFA). And I've had the privilege of collaborating with great artists and amazing brands, including Rolex, Tag Heuer, NBCU, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Lenovo, Nintendo, and many others!

While my primary focus has always been directing, I've always felt incredibly passionate about writing and editing as well. I simply love storytelling and every aspect of it.  

Please feel free to reach out! I'd love to be a part of your journey and tell a story together. 

Wishing you the best, 
Fran.
