I'm Michael Merchan, the founder of Merchan Films. Here at Merchan Films, we're all about quality and excellence in our productions. With a decade of experience under my belt, I'm driven, dedicated, and passionate about creating impactful content and managing exponential growth through visual storytelling.

Originally from the beautiful "La isla del encanto," Puerto Rico, my journey into storytelling began when I was just 14 years old, navigating the world of track athletics. Starting with documenting my training and competitions, I gradually found myself crafting videos that resonated with my friends and community. Over time, my passion for storytelling evolved, with a keen focus on achieving that coveted "cinematic look" in my work.

This passion led me to move from Puerto Rico to California in 2014, and pursue a career in film production, culminating in a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema and Television Arts with an emphasis in Film Production from California State University, Northridge.

At Merchan Films, we specialize in producing a wide range of visual content. We are devoted to capturing the essence of your unique story with care, creativity, and an unyielding commitment to visual excellence.
