After directing and finishing his first film in 2011, IT IS DARK IN HERE, Luis Labrador has realized his dream by opening his own production company, Digital Breathing LLC.

Luis’s first big break in LA was at Gentle Giant Studios where he held the positions of 3D scanning and 3D modeling Artist. His numerous feature film credits there include, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, SPIDER MAN 2, X MEN 2 and VAN HELSING.

While working on SPIDER MAN 2, Sony Pictures Imageworks took notice of Luis’s talent and immediately offered him an opportunity to work for them. Luis had a successful career at this studio for 6 years as a senior character modeler in the visual effects department.

He eventually left Imageworks after being offered a position with DreamWorks Animation where he worked for 3 years. Currently he holds the position of Senior Modeler at Disney Animation while pursuing his career as a film director.
