Writer/Director/Producer Gustavo Camelot originates from Uruguay, a country often referred to as the "Switzerland of the Americas". Throughout his life, he has also resided in various international cities, including Barcelona, Paris, Munich, Berlin, London, New York, and most recently, Los Angeles. As a result of his multicultural upbringing, Gustavo is proficient in four languages: Spanish, English, German, and French. This diverse linguistic background has granted him a profound understanding of different cultural nuances and aesthetics.
Gustavo's educational background is equally impressive. He received advanced degrees in architecture, which fostered his critical eye for composition and laid the foundation for his understanding of spatial relationships in film composition. He later pursued post-graduate programs in theater arts at the Escola de Teatre Musical Memory in Barcelona and the Mountview Conservatoire of the Performing Arts in London. Gustavo's performances in London's West End and Barcelona garnered critical acclaim, ultimately leading him to transition into film acting and directing. He recently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his filmmaking ambitions.
Gustavo has appeared in numerous international films, television pilots, short films, and commercials. He has also completed an intensive film development program at the Los Angeles Film School. His debut feature, "Vidrio Roto" (Broken Glass),is an adaptation of his novel, "Memories of an Ideal in Coma". The film's complex narrative and cinematic twists reflect Gustavo's diverse background, as he applies his multicultural heritage and language skills to his work.
Gustavo has been recognized for his achievements, including being a Project: Involve Honoree, a mentorship program sponsored by Eastman Kodak, Sony Pictures, and HBO. He is currently in pre-production for his next project, "The Tree of Red Stars", based on the award-winning novel by Tessa Bridal. This project has already been declared of National Interest by the Uruguayan Government in April 2006.
