Jesse Larios
I’m Jesse, a Chicago-based bilingual (English/Spanish) director and editor with a background in agency copywriting and sports media production.
Most of my work lives at the intersection of sports, comedy, and culture. I love character-driven pieces that feel honest and fun, with pacing that keeps people watching. My goal is simple: make stories that feel human and look great on screen, whether it’s a profile, a mini-doc, or a social-first series.
