E.T. Vazquez (they/them/whatever) is a first-generation Mexican-American artist, writer, filmmaker, and astrologer from the San Fernando Valley. After briefly studying anthropology, philosophy, and photojournalism at Moorpark College, they received their BA in Film Production with a focus on cinematography at the Arts University of Bournemouth in the UK.

While continuing their art practice, Liz worked at various galleries and museums throughout Los Angeles. From 2021 to 2022, they became an artist-in-residence at The Philosophical Research Society where they exhibited their first solo show, mano de dios. 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, AND the relentless push towards AI psychosis + humanity’s extinction :)

In 2025, Liz was one of ten directors selected for the Netflix-supported Latino Film Institute (LFI) Inclusion Fellowship.

ETV’s work often incorporates off-beat relationships between text and image while exploring "otherness.” They believe in using humor, play, and absurdism to dismantle social constructions and beliefs rooted in histories of imperialism, genocidal colonization, white supremacy, and patriarchal, capitalist dominionism… “or something like that.”

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