born in the beautiful Tenochtitlan, Fernando grew up in the neighborhood of Xochimilco, in the south of the city. At two years old, he fell from a supermarket cart, creating a terrifying sound when his head hit the ground. Yolanda, his mother, compares the sound to a flowerpot falling from a third floor. Since then, Fernando has been "special," says his mother. At fifteen, with an infernal sensitivity, Fernando wanted to become a theoretical physicist or a dirtbag; and while deciding, he entertained himself by conducting experiments with mini DV cameras, using his friends as actors and editing on his father's computer, who made extensive documentary films about his family adventures. At 17, he was hired to create content for a production house, where he discovered his deep love for the audiovisual creation process. Since then, Fernando has compulsively created videos.
