Ethan Ugalde

he/him

Ethan Ugalde is a Multimedia Producer Apprentice at BAVC Media who’s adapting his visual creativity into efficient production planning and directorial leadership for narrative productions. Coming from a comic illustration background, Ethan explores a bold blend of stylistic editing & day to day realism when behind the camera. His favorite aspect of filmmaking tends to lean more into the cinematography. He meticulously plans his compositions and ensures that every frame & action within them are shot with intention—showing rather than telling. Ethan hopes that through the BAVC Media apprenticeship, he can continue to sharpen his craft, not just as a visual storyteller, but as a leader who can effectively communicate his visions.
