About Marco

My name is Marco WestWood Gonzalez and I have been making short films for 10 years+ in order to practice my craft and simply because I love filmmaking. I'm from San Diego, but recently moved out to LA to try and get my foot in the door. I'm continuing to work on my shorts while I can, as well as am writing feature film screenplays I hope to be able to get out and pitch. Looking forward to working with other creatives on here and elsewhere.
