Victor Parra (born June 16th, 1986) is a Mexican-American film director, screenwriter, and editor. He was born in Dallas, TX, and raised by a single immigrant mother. English is his second language. Parra’s passion for filmmaking began at age 12 when he was gifted a used VHS camera, subsequently shooting dozens of shorts with his cousins. At 15, he shot a stop motion animation parody of How the Grinch Stole Christmas using play-doh and cardboard. A public access channel, GRS-TV, aired the short as a Christmas special, playing it on loop.
Parra attended The Los Angeles Film School where he fell in love with the magic of editing, finding that, with enough creativity, one could transform seemingly mediocre footage into spectacle. After graduating in 2008, Parra began a career in post-production, working on shows like As We See It, The Secrets of Sulphur Springs, Young Rock, and Rosewood.
