Pedro
Ultreras was born in Durango, Mexico. A three time Emmy
nominated news reporter for the Spanish Television Media in the
USA for sixteen years, Pedro left his prosperous career as a
journalist to pursue his dreams in the film industry. As a
journalist, Pedro was assigned to cover several national and
international news events from the Middle East, Europe and
Mexico to Latin-America. The death of Pope John Paul II and the
election of the new Pope Benedict XVI was his last international
assignment.
His interest in extending his work as a social communicator took
him to New York to study filmmaking.
7 Soles is the first feature length film Pedro writes and
directs. He also published the book of the movie under the same
title. He is currently living in Phoenix, Arizona.
