Omar Paz Trujillo

About

I’m a writer and producer focused on getting bold, character-driven films made, not just written.
My work spans genres, but it always comes back to emotional truth, cinematic storytelling, and a director’s eye on the page. From political thrillers to absurd road comedies to intimate period dramas, I write with production in mind: structure, tone, and cost.
I was selected as a 2025 Fellow for the Stowe Story Labs’ New Voices New Mexico program and am developing multiple features. I come from Northern New Mexico, a place most people overlook, but I’ve lived all over the world. That contrast, between the deeply local and the global, shapes my work.
Though I’ve acted and performed in the past, and that experience still informs my work, my priority today is clear: to write and produce meaningful, ready-to-shoot stories, and build a career through the work, not the talk.
