Son of Mexican-German, immigrants
My parents took this photo moments before they arrived in New York to start their new life in the States. Yeah, dope. I know.
Ex-Rock & Roller
Before directing commercials, I was famous in Canada. I love Canada.
Inspiring the future
I love sharing the joy of filmmaking with my daughters. Spielberg would be so proud [of me].
Latte Arteest
I am perfecting my work as an impressionistic latte artist. This piece is entitled, "Nice try, daddy, but that's not a heart."

Axel Gimenez is a commercial director that specializes in comedy and lifestyle.
I also direct episodic+film in various genres, including sci-fi, horror, and the absurd.
I like my commercials funny and heartfelt. And my narrative dark. Very dark.
It's like Yin & Yang—Fire & Ice.
