Edwin FrankO

Edwin FrankO (Edwin Frank Ortiz) is a Latino film director of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent hailing from Barrio Logan of Southeast San Diego. He graduated from USC's School of Cinematic Arts with an emphasis in directing. FrankO began his artistic journey as a hip-hop dancer. Edwin discovered his "fuego" back at Point Loma High School when a film colleague asked if he can dance and act in his film. Being new to acting, he loved it and decided to pursue it. This eventually introduced him to film production and the rest is history. With a creative portfolio that consists of acting for theatre and film, producing and directing music videos, commercials, and documentaries, he looks forward to finally creating meaningful narrative content that will highlight his talents but more importantly, tell more stories from underrepresented communities.
