Born in Monterrey, México. Based in Los Angeles, Memo works across narrative features, commercials, series and occasional video art detours. His recent work includes O Último Azul / The Blue Trail (dir. Gabriel Mascaro) which earned him a nomination for best cinematography for both Mexico and Brazil’s Academy Awards, and won the Silver Bear at the 2025 Berlinale ; Idiots (dir. Macon Blair), selected for Sundance in 2026; The Thicket, a snow-covered western; and Tumor, an upcoming trippy thriller starring Sam Rockwell. He also collaborated with visual artist Sol Oosel on Las Coristas, a video installation exhibited at PEANA Gallery.

Working an intuitive sensibility, calm temperament, and an ability to lead and flow through changing conditions, Memo keeps both eyes open when looking through the viewfinder, one inside the frame, the other somewhere just outside of it.
