Biography

José Moreno Brooks is an independent filmmaker, editor, and actor. Originally from northern California, José graduated with an Economics degree from UCLA before deferring his law school acceptance and making a sharp left turn. José has since appeared on-camera in several television series, including Telenovela, Queens, 911-Lonestar, Jane the Virgin, Mom, Young and Hungry, and Baby Daddy, among others.

When he is not acting, Jose can be found editing and producing passion projects. His first feature documentary Allihopa: The Dalkurd Story, which he co-produced and edited, is currently on the festival circuit and has been one of José's greatest storytelling opportunities. As a lifelong soccer player, the chance to spend two months embedded with a professional soccer team as they chase history was a dream for him. And as a filmmaker, the responsibility of telling the story of not just this football club in Sweden but also the Kurdish people and their resilience was an honor. It is José's hope that in our polarized and fractured world, this film can create a bit more compassion and serve as a reminder that we can create magic when we work all together or allihopa as they say in Sweden.
