The film director José Alejandro Gómez Monteverde, a Jaibo since July 13, 1977, when he was born in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He has had a life full of experiences thanks to his complete and great vocation for the arts, mainly for the cinema.
His dream could not be carried out in Tampico because there were no Art schools, and at that time being a film director in Mexico was difficult as being a Taquero in Russia or a Charro in Japan, you could be the best but it was not sure that people will listen to you. The culture of Mexican people at that time does not include appreciating the cinema.
His dream could not be carried out in Tampico because there were no Art schools, and at that time being a film director in Mexico was difficult as being a Taquero in Russia or a Charro in Japan, you could be the best but it was not sure that people will listen to you. The culture of Mexican people at that time does not include appreciating the cinema.
But he was ready to change that mentality, so he started and finished his studies at The University of Texas at Austin. After that he had the dream to became a film director who inspired the world, to take the name of Mexico up high.
He is a producer and director, who started his career in Hollywood in 2001. He is known for Bella (2006) and Little boy (2015). This relevant films positioned him as a great exponent of Mexican cinema mainly in Canada. He won the Luminus Award for Best Director in 2016 with Little Boy.
Because he is fulfilling the dream of many and has the intention and decision to help young Mexican cinemas that want to become great filmmakers he was awarded the "American by Choice Award", granted by the Department of Citizenship for his positive contribution to the development of Latin American art and culture in the United States.
His success in the cinematographic world has given him a has given him a compleat change to his life like the recognition of his work in 2 own projects and also he has had an economic reward, he has several possessions as an estimated patrimony of 245 million dollars, his owns several restaurants (the chain "Alejandro Gomez the Hungry") in Mexico, he has released his own brand of vodka (Pure Wonder Monteverde Mexico) and a football team (the "Angels of Tampico"). Another interesting fact is than Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, was named the sexiest director in the world for the second consecutive year in 2018.
Finally, we can conclude that Alejandro is an example to follow for the whole country and his struggle to excel in the international scenario is just what Mexico needs to get rid of stereotypes such as corruption, weapons, and mediocrity that its only purpose is to encapsulate the Mexican. So today thanks to Alejandro we will continue fighting for a competitive Mexico in sports, sciences and especially art. As Monteverde said in his movie Little boy "Now you have the power. It's up to you to achieve the impossible" it's time to act for Mexico.
