Diego Castañeda Sanchez is a director, editor, and producer based in Atlanta, GA, with a focus on story-driven work across post and production. His films blend psychological tension with absurd comedy and distinct, character-driven performances.
With a background in editing, Diego brings a strong sense of rhythm and structure to every project—building tone and emotion from the cut up. As a director, he's drawn to stylized, character-led stories that balance the surreal with the grounded.
His latest short, Midnight Telephone Line, blends thriller and dark comedy, and is currently screening at festivals. Originally from South Texas, Diego’s work is shaped by a bi-cultural upbringing and a commitment to stories that leave a mark.
