Ethan Cortes

I started by cutting hair. Somewhere along the way, I started telling stories.

That first camera was for showing my work as a barber. Then I became more interested in what a film could make someone feel—the movement of a shot, the pause before a line, the way a small moment can carry a whole story.

Now I develop concepts, write, direct, shoot, and edit films for brands. I bring the same care to a product story, a campaign, or a personal piece: find the human part first, then build the visuals around it.
