Xavier Velasco Du Solier was born in Mexico City and studied in Madrid, Spain. His cinematic voice was forged from a distinctive combination of experiences: he began his career as a cinematographer, developing television series, and filming in diverse countries and cultures. This multifaceted trajectory gave rise to a cinematic style that fuses precision and spontaneity.

 

Throughout his career, Xavier has collaborated with major international brands, directing campaigns that combine striking visual storytelling with deep emotional resonance for brands such as Toyota, Aeroméxico, Amazon, HSBC, and DELL. He has written and developed TV series for various platforms such as AMC Networks, Discovery Channel, Claro, and Sony. His short films, Breaking the Air and Ferrum Domina, have been recognized at multiple film festivals, garnering awards that highlight his ability to combine technical mastery with profound narrative intent.

 

Currently, he is developing his first feature film, Pausa & Play, a fiction project that expands on the themes he has explored in his earlier work—intimacy, fragility, and the search for meaning in seemingly fleeting moments. Xavier is always in search of stories that resonate deeply and linger beyond the screen.
