Carlos Meléndez is a writer/director of film and television specializing in the horror, thriller and fantasy genres (learn about his projects here). Born in Mexico City, Carlos sneakily made his way to Film School in LA at 18. But after finishing his studies he didn’t feel quite prepared to take on Hollywood just yet. After twenty years of painstaking work and success in Mexico, Carlos returned to LA last year. You can watch his TV series My Encounter With Evil on Netflix.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time.

The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City.
