Felipe Vargas
Felipe Vargas is a Writer/Director/Editor who was born in Colombia and grew up in Florida, inspired by Latin American magical realist writing and an implacable consumption of movies. Felipe attended USC film school, and has interned at Showtime Networks, Blumhouse Productions, KDC Films, Annapurna Pictures, and Lionsgate Entertainment. He was the director and writer of two of the four greenlit USC Thesis projects in 2019, including the horror-fantasy film "Milk Teeth." Felipe was selected to co-direct a USC feature horror adaptation of "Phantom of the Opera," with backing from John Wells. With a passion for Latin American stories and mythology, Felipe is in development on a Mexican fantasy-adventure series with Norman Lear's production company ACT III. Felipe's fantasy short film "The Guide" premiered on DUST in 2019, where it garnered 3.4+ million views - it is among the ten most viewed films on the platform. His experimental sci-fi film "Grapefruit & Heat Death!" was recently acquired by DUST as well and will premiere in 2020. Felipe's Florida-focused short films "Summer's End" and "Vessel" were both broadcast nationally on PBS. Felipe is also a socially-conscious documentary editor - his last doc "Breaking Their Silence" (2018) was featured on CNN, TEDx, KTLA and The Today Show. He is editing a new documentary feature uncovering a school board conspiracy in the South. His work has been featured in over thirty-five festivals and was an official selection at Newport Beach, Chattanooga, Sarasota, Fort Meyers, and HollyShorts Film Festivals, among others.
