- Biography:
- Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Francisco’s interest in film began at an early age thanks to his parents and movies such as Star Wars, Back to the Future, Jaws and The Goonies. After studying marketing, journalism and film, he graduated from the University of Dayton in Ohio. After writing for several U.S.-based movie blogs, Francisco decided to create the Puerto Rican website CineXpress in 2011. Since then Francisco has worked as film critic, entertainment journalist and commentator for top local TV shows like Ahora Es on Univision PR, Primetime on ABC Puerto Rico, and Todo Tampa Bay in Florida, top local newspaper El Vocero and top local radio stations Fidelity 95.7 FM, Hot 102.5 FM and SalSoul 99.1 FM. A member of OFCS and LEJA, and the first Puerto Rican to be certified by Rotten Tomatoes, Francisco has also had the opportunity to attend and participate in multiple press junkets and interview actors, directors and producers from around the world, as well as cover prestigious film festivals. Now, with more than 20 years of experience, cinema continues to be his biggest passion.
