WORK
Productions of Diversity and Depth
Some stories are entertaining. Some stories are necessary. I'm only interested in both at once. I seek out the inspiring and the unseen: stories that bridge worlds, challenge assumptions, and remind audiences what it feels like to be human. A film, a series, a brand. I tell each one the same way: find the true thing, and make people feel it. That's the mission, and in thirty years it hasn't changed.
SATAN & ADAM
Before Osobarra, there was Satan & Adam. I produced and edited it alongside industry legend Frank Marshall. The film earned a spot on the Academy Award shortlist for Best Feature Documentary, premiered at Tribeca, and was acquired by Netflix. It's not the exception. It's how I work: find the structure, dig for the story, and don't stop until it's true.
Chris 'CHiRPiE' Mercado, a first-generation American & Disney choreographer, burdened by a life of high expectations and personal loss, embarks on a transformative journey back to the Philippines, seeking to heal and reconnect with the cultural roots that have long felt like a distant echo in his fast-paced American life.

AAPI stories deserve a real home. JoySauce built one, and I helped turn it into a network.
As VP of Content and Brand, I shaped the programming and ran the slate: an Emmy shortlist for Jokes with JoySauce, the exclusive home of the Critics Choice AAPI Awards, a full lineup now reaching 200 million homes on Prime Video, Roku, Plex, a stand alone app, and JoySauce.tv.
Representation here isn't a mission statement. It's the work, on screen, at scale.
Late night finally has an AAPI seat at the table. JoySauce Late Night brings the interviews, the performances, and the laughs — hosted by JoySauce founder Jonathan Sposato, and built for a culture that's done waiting to be represented.
Jokes with joysauce
Great sets. Real talk. Jokes with JoySauce puts AANHPI stand-up comedians center stage — and then pulls back the curtain on the lives, cultures, and moments that made them funny.
I've been making commercials and brand films for a long time. The kind that don't feel like commercials. Visually bold. Emotionally honest. Built to stick. That's the standard we set for ourselves — every project, every time.
