FILM

Edgardo is a filmmaker with a decade of professional experience in the craft. The films featured here represent key milestones in his artistic trajectory. 

Edgardo’s most recent work, Upon the Railroad Earth, marks his first independent production post-graduation. Despite a minimalist crew and independent funding, the film earned the Hitchcock Award at the Jersey Shore Film Festival and was featured by Kodak Motion Picture on their official Instagram.

Their University of New Mexico thesis film, From the Shadows of Desert Rocks (2021), stands as a significant achievement; produced at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was one of the few capstone projects completed during their senior year. The film went on to screen at the Golden Door Film Festival, the New Haven International Film Festival, the Arizona International Film Festival, and the Oscar-accredited Santa Fe International Film Festival. Also from his period at the University of New Mexico, his 2020 film, The Plight & Desertion of Arthur Leigh Hazelwood, screened at the 2023 Arizona International Film Festival and the 2023 Nassau Film Festival, where it was awarded Best Student Short Film.
