ABOUT PABLO CASTRILLÓN
I was born in the mountains of Colombia and raised between music, oral traditions, and the vibrant culture of Latin America. Those early years, the colours, the rhythms, the matriarchal energy of my home, shaped the artist I would become long before I ever held a camera or a paintbrush.
Today I live in Australia (Brisbane), carrying those worlds with me. My work sits at the meeting point of visual arts, filmmaking, and writing, blending ancestral memory with contemporary storytelling. Whether on canvas, on screen, or on the page, everything I create begins with one question:
How can stories help us see each other more clearly?
FILMMAKER & STORY PRODUCER
In 2023, my short documentary Beats of Colours, a film about Tango and Latin-American classical music, received two Antenna Award nominations. Funded by the Community Broadcasting Foundation and produced with Cinespace and my company, Ver Mas Media, the film affirmed my commitment to crafting stories with cultural depth, emotional resonance, and professional polish.
Across the past decade, I have produced content for Brisbane Marketing (Brisbane Economic Development Agency), Palace Cinemas, Queensland Government programs, Woodford Folk Festival, and community organisations.
I bring both creative vision and production discipline, from budgeting to stakeholder coordination to accessibility-aligned digital assets. I specialise in purpose-driven content that informs, uplifts, and connects.
VER MAS MEDIA — BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH STORY
In 2018, I founded Ver Mas, a social-enterprise-driven media project supporting Latinx and culturally diverse creatives in Australia. It has since evolved into:
A storytelling studio
A development hub for emerging content creators
A connector between community voices and the screen industry
With Ver Mas, I have developed multicultural campaigns, talent initiatives, and impact-driven media projects, collaborating with councils, artists, and cultural organisations across Australia.
crafting stories that move people, shape culture, and create pathways for communities to be seen.
