Auriel and Carlos Jimenez
There are many fascinating stories in the World of film production, and the journey of filmmaking duo Auriel and Carlos Jimenez is another unique journey.
Meeting during their stint in the Marines, the talented pair have brought their measured and disciplined training to their current place in the film industry.
Carlos, a well-regarded cinematographer in his own right, was brought to the feature film project BURN, after working with Director/Writer/Star Patrick Lazzara on another film. Once reviewing the script with partner Auriel, the ambitious twosome set out to bring Mr. Lazzara's passion project to fruition.
Applying skills learned in the military has been a key component to achieving success in completing BURN.
Carlos says, “I didn't realize it when I got into it, you know, how helpful the Marine Corps was. It helped me to problem solve, cause the thing is with the Marine Corps is you always are forced to do a lot with a little.”
And those skills also assisted Auriel in her own administrative components in the production work,
“ The Marines let me understand a lot of stuff that people would normally stress out about, everything became like water off a duck's back.”
All the hard work paid off, and after an extended creative process spanning nearly a decade, BURN, an evocative, fiery crime thriller would be born, with its Release slated for April 1st across major VOD platforms.
