Who we are

AAFx2 Productions is the creative vision of Dr. Adan A. Fuentes and Adan A. Fuentes III—a dynamic father-and-son duo dedicated to crafting high-quality film projects that inspire, captivate, and resonate.

Dr. Adan A. Fuentes, a trained actor and director turned surgeon, returned to his creative roots in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of storytelling to the team.

Adan A. Fuentes III, a talented filmmaker, complements this partnership with his technical expertise, innovative vision, and dedication to bringing compelling stories to life.

Together, they form a team that blends creativity, experience, and a shared love for film.

Their debut project, "Drowning Above Water," marks the beginning of an exciting journey in filmmaking. This project originated from a friendship that started in 1990 between co-writer Phil Holt and Dr. Fuentes. It has been submitted to prestigious film festivals, and they are eagerly awaiting the results.
