HOLA and WELCOME!
My name’s Brandon Hugo Arroyo (or BH for short), I’m a NuyoRican filmmaker and founder of Giant Island Entertainment. The central question with-in my work is this: How do we make sense of ourselves through the stories we inherit, the stories we’re told, and the stories we choose to believe?
As a storyteller, I focus on themes of identity, vulnerability, relationships, culture, and wonder. All with an interest to play with genres such as drama, adventure, action, fantasy, mystery, thriller, stop motion animation and dark fairytales. Quite the playground if you ask me.
As a tool, I believe filmmaking has the power to create discourse, inspire critical thinking and engage audiences through the use of story experiences and escapism. Bringing people together on a shared journey of personal reflection and bonding. That means, I want to make the BIG Blockbusters as much as I want to make the indie, no budget, art house films.
My goal with Giant Island is to build a body of work that blends realism and myth, root it in culture, and drive it with emotion. Designed to connect.
Besides writing & making movies, I enjoy shooting social and commercial work that engages with people on platforms such as Youtube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.
