Biography

Edwin FrankO is a Puerto Rican and Mexican-American filmmaker from Barrio Logan, San Diego, whose journey from breakdancer to cinematic storyteller defines his rhythmic, community-centered approach to film. A proud USC School of Cinematic Arts alumnus and current MFA candidate at San Diego State University, Edwin’s work is rooted in the intersection of cultural preservation and creative education. After a transformative path through community college and the bittersweet milestone of entering USC the same week he lost his father, Edwin dedicated his craft to amplifying underrepresented voices. As a Teaching Artist for the Media Arts Center San Diego, he empowers the next generation to find their own narratives. With When the Coquí Sings, Edwin continues his mission to create "love letters" to his heritage, proving that whether through the salsa of his debut feature Fuego or the quiet call of a forest frog in Balboa Park, storytelling is the ultimate way to call oneself home.
