Gustavo T. Astudillo is a filmmaker and photographer based in Los Angeles and has spent over a decade working in film + TV. Despite being labeled 'stubborn' by multiple therapists for his unwavering commitment to filmmaking, mister Gustavo passionately continues to pursue his questionable endeavors.

In 2024, Gustavo released Positive Reinforcement, his first narrative film, which screened at Palm Springs International Shortfest, LA Shorts International Film Festival and selected for a Vimeo Staff Pick. The film stars Thomas Mann as a self-deprecating artist, an experience Gustavo claims to know nothing about.
