Paulo Torres is a Mexican-American filmmaker whose work bridges culture, philosophy, and emotion. A co-founder of Five Towers, Paulo has produced a wide range of projects — from visually daring music videos to award-winning independent films — his personal work is focused on character, place, and inner transformation.

Rooted in both Los Angeles and northern Mexico, Paulo’s stories are aimed to explore the tension between tradition and modernity, intimacy and spectacle, man and machine. His narratives often center on unexpected journeys — both literal and psychological — that challenge his characters' identities and open them to new ways of seeing the world.

Whether documenting real lives or crafting fictional worlds, Paulo brings a distinct voice as both a producer and a storyteller: thoughtful, driven, and deeply curious about the human condition in an age of accelerating change.
