RAFAEL NORIEGA

Award-winning filmmaker Rafael Noriega, known as “The Wizard”, is back in South Florida shooting a six-episode psychological thriller mini-series titled “The Answer”. Noriega, a director, cinematographer, and editor, has created a solid portfolio of documentaries, TV pilots and films. 

His mantra—“feel the story” helps make the emotion real for the audience. His nickname comes from the name of his production company; Wizard Studios. But his passion is “show, don’t tell”. Whether he’s shooting the documentary “An Island in Time”, or the award-winning sci-fi short film, “Explorandum”, or “The Answer” miniseries, Noriega wants the audience to have an authentic experience. He does this by his careful selection of each lens and by supervising camera angles to build on emotion and effectively communicate the theme. Noriega also says he has a generally positive attitude that has served him well: “Life is difficult enough, why make it worse?” Learn more about this filmmaker and his projects on IMDb.
