Luciano Alzate is a Colombian filmmaker born in Quito, Ecuador. Shortly after immigrating to the United States at the age of seven, Luciano showed an interest in the arts. Working professionally in voice acting and video production, taking professional photography courses, and diligently drawing and writing for several years, Luciano has developed a wide and unique range of skills.

Asphyxia was my first major film project. I had worked on other films of course, but none of them had compared to the scale of Asphyxia. Production ran over the course of three months, with thousands of hours poured into the final production. I poured a lot of myself into this film, I wanted to explore the relationships between the two key characters as they live together in such tight quarters. Asphyxia has been my greatest learning experience, and an amazing exercise in storytelling.
