E.T. Vazquez (they/them/whatever) is a first-generation Mexican-American artist, writer, filmmaker, and astrologer from the San Fernando Valley. They studied anthropology, philosophy, and photojournalism at Moorpark College before studying cinematography and receiving a BA in Film Production at the Arts University at Bournemouth in the U.K.

While continuing their art practice, they worked at galleries, museums, and art fairs throughout Los Angeles as a gallery assistant, within visitor services, and ultimately as a tour guide. From 2021 to 2022, they were an artist-in-residence at The Philosophical Research Society where they exhibited their first solo multimedia show, mano de dios: the nonsense continues.

In 2022, they graduated from the American Film Institute Conservatory with an MFA in Screenwriting. Right in time for the writers’ strike, the SAG-AFTRA strike, Hollywood’s blacklisting of artists against genocide and for a free Palestine, PLUS the relentless push towards AI psychosis and humanity’s extinction :)

In 2025, they were one of ten directors selected for the Netflix-supported Latino Film Institute (LFI) Inclusion Fellowship. They are also a 2026 NORWAC (Northwest Astrological Conference) Diversity Scholarship recipient.

ETV’s work often incorporates off-beat relationships between text and image while exploring "otherness.” Their narrative film work is character-driven and combines genre. Throughout their work, they use humor, play, and absurdism to critique and dismantle oppressive social constructs and belief systems.

They are doing their best out here in this fun little crumbling empire.
