Ismael Gomez IIIEDITOR | PRODUCER

Ismael Gomez III is a Cuban-American author, coach, and film director. Born and bred in Havana, Cuba, Gomez immigrated to the United States as a teenager. His constant obsession and inclination toward storytelling led him to pursue a degree in Communications with a major in Film Studies.

Brimming with newfangled ideas, Gomez spent his 20s creating bewitching stories that focused on relationship dynamics and existential themes of the human condition. He attended NYFA’s 2-Year Filmmaking Conservatory and went on to produce films like Death of a Fool and Distance which are currently distributed globally on Amazon Prime Video.

As social media kept evolving and audiences found new methods to consume information, Gomez gradually shifted from creating feature length films to short-format video content on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. This new path inspired him to create his personal brand Save The Messenger, where he invests his time creating live events, articles, masterclasses and informative videos to share his experiences and insights about building harmonious relationships with oneself and others.
