05 / FOUNDER
Mexican writer-director Diego Mendez founded Fiscal Youth to make the kind of work he grew up searching for: entertaining, emotional stories with a point of view.
Rooted in Monterrey and raised in the United States, Diego brings a distinctly Mexican perspective to stories about identity, family, ambition, and the tension between where we come from and who we choose to become.
“The goal isn't to make more noise. It's to make something impossible to ignore.”
