Comic Con International Film Festival Contestant 2025

I was grateful to be back at Comic Con again this summer with Autism in Entertainment joining a panel alongside Jorge Gutierrez. During the event, we showcased a short film that I had the opportunity to help edit for Autism in Entertainment. The film highlighted Jorge’s inspiring journey from drawing simple doodles as a child to ultimately creating the acclaimed animated feature, The Book of Life.

Jorge Gutierrez is a highly successful animator and filmmaker known for his distinctive style and storytelling, far from being a small-time player in the industry. He has created acclaimed works such as The Book of Life and El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, earning critical praise and a devoted following. Beyond his creative achievements, Jorge has been open about his experiences with autism, using his platform to raise awareness and inspire others by sharing both his challenges and triumphs.
