AEDAN MCHUGH

FOUNDER, WRITER

Aedan began working in the world of film as a Photographer and Camera Operator in Nashville, TN. After years working freelance in the bay area, it became clear to him that many of the things he was working on were failing to meet their artistic potential. Upon meeting Bastian in 2015, the two decided to create their own production company that championed creativity and identity, allowing each works' artistry to shine.

DIEGO IBARRA

PRODUCER, Director of Operations

Diego was born in Chihuahua Mexico and from his early years he figure it out that his life was to become a producer of daily life. Knowing Bastian and Aedan from along time they decided to open a new office based in Mexico City where they now work on different projects all around Mexico.

BASTIÀN VALLES

FOUNDER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Filmmaker and storyteller, cinema lover and ambitious romantic. From a young age, he found his passion for cinema in every film that he rented from a small video club that was just a couple of blocks from his house in his Mexican hometown.  This passion led him to become a photographer and videographer and eventually ending up in San Francisco earning a degree in Film School. This led him into a career in the film industry where he met Aedan in 2015, eventually forming with him what is now Algonquin Films.
