DIRECTOR BIO

Xavier Rodriguez is a writer-director based in Los Angeles, California.

He began his journey of artistic expression in high school, forming a band that incorporated theatrics into their live shows. Xavier then moved on to live performances of original characters. His craft developed and matured through designing and creating costumes and makeup, and by building props for shows that highlighted these characters. Diving deeper into their worlds and their adventures, he found storytelling through film to be a natural transition. With this medium, he was able to combine all his passions and deliver his art in the most potent form, drawing inspiration from the beauty and darkness that accompany the human experience, along with the mystery, wonder, and often terror of the otherworldly.

Xavier has just completed his directorial debut, SATURDAY BIZARRE.
