My journey began in 1999, thanks to the incredible support and sacrifices of my parents, especially my father. They invested in a truly transformative four-year experience at the University of British Columbia, a world-renowned film school. My time there, in what's often called "Hollywood North," was about more than just formal education. It ignited a passion within me, a belief that hard work and dedication could lead to extraordinary achievements. It also planted the seed for a 20-year vision: to build a leading creative group specializing in motion picture production, crafting honest stories that resonate with audiences, stories they'll want to watch again and again, stories that inspire growth.
I firmly believe, inspired by Earl Nightingale's wisdom, "You are what you think about," that every individual possesses incredible potential for brilliant ideas and unique life experiences. At LIGHTTRAM, our close-knit team of dedicated filmmakers is passionate about playing a part in bringing those ideas and experiences to life. We strive to provide exceptional service, documenting stories and projects that hold deep value for our clients and contribute to a more peaceful, ethical, and caring society.

Featuring the virtuosic harp performance of Ana Cecilia Lizano Dobles, this film captures the intersection of rigorous discipline and raw, unfiltered soul. We demonstrate how cinematic storytelling can elevate a musical performance into a visual memory, using the "Silver Compass" of melody to guide the viewer through a narrative of artistic dedication and soulful realism.

A black-and-white cinematic meditation on the invisible architecture of human celebration, framing the wedding planner not merely as a coordinator,
but as a silent steward of sacred time.
In an era dominated by the transient and the loud, The Guardian of Details turns a soulful, monochrome lens toward
the quiet devotion required to protect life’s most profound milestones. Set against the rhythmic, intricate tapestry of Ravel's String Quartet in F Major, this cinematic essay observes Costa Rican wedding planner Natalia Borbón
as an artisan of logistics.
Moving beyond the surface of event coordination, the film explores the concept of the "Extra Mile" as a spiritual discipline. Through deliberate pacing and rich, high-contrast imagery, the planner is revealed as a noble observer and protector of intrinsic value—an architect who builds temporary sanctuaries of integrity so that love may be celebrated without distraction. It is a tribute to the painstaking, unseen labor that transforms
a fleeting moment into an enduring memory.
