Hello!

Screenshot 2023-11-14 at 2.21.51 AM.png

My name is Uriel Gavito, I am a filmmaker and creative professional currently based in the Rio Grande Valley.

I have found that there is no greater artistic undertaking than to make movies. Good movies require good writing, photography, music, editing, acting, color and design aesthetics all working cohesively together. Not to mention the logistical, technical and financial aspects that this medium calls for. 

 

Over the past 8 years I have dedicated myself seriously to the craft of filmmaking, honing my skills in every creative role, and in every type of video. (Commercials, music videos, documentaries, fashion shoots, short films-- you name it, and I’ve probably made it!) This range of filmmaking has shaped me into a well-rounded videographer, making me become a very skilled "creative handyman" for any video need. 

​

I further studied the craft of filmmaking at the University of Texas in Austin, where I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Radio, Television, and Film.

 

I have been awarded as a State Finalist in the 2019 UIL Young Filmmakers of Texas, and in 2021 I received the Roderick P. Hart award for my screenwriting.

 

All of this translates to strong confidence, competence and care in my creative work. Editing, Writing, Filming, Photography, Design... if you have a creative need, I promise you my absolute best effort to blow your expectations away!

Education

2019-2023

University of Texas at Austin

Radio-Television-Film

My education at UT Austin is one characterized by experiential learning. I studied a semester in Madrid, Spain, learning resilience and filmmaking in another country. I navigated Covid-19 by transmuting it into an opportunity to learn remote working skills, where I led a team to create an animated project sponsored by a professional screenwriter.

Finally I have been a part of dozens of filmmaking projects, which have given me the beautiful opportunity to fail over and over again. And there is no teacher quite as powerful as failure! With this wealth of knowledge and experience, I am equipped to tackle any creative challenge.
