Chava Cartas

Chava Cartas, born September 15, 1971, in the bustling heart of Guadalajara, Jalisco, is one of those filmmakers who just can’t sit still. He’s dipped his fingers into all sorts of projects, but honestly, most people shout out his name because of “Sobreviviendo Mis XV” (2023), “Amor xtremo” (2006), and, yeah, “Rosario Tijeras” (2016). Each one’s got its own wild flavor. You can kinda tell he’s got a knack for mixing sharp visuals with stories that hit close to home. Not just some random director, Chava’s style tends to lean into the chaos and drama of real life, but he’s not afraid to throw in a little humor or raw energy when things get too heavy. With “Sobreviviendo Mis XV,” he dives into the madness of quinceañera culture—think family drama, awkward teen moments, and all the glittery, over-the-top traditions that come with trying to survive your fifteenth birthday in Mexico. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it actually feels real. Back in 2006, “Amor xtremo” was all about romance with a kick—action, passion, just pure adrenaline. The guy doesn’t do boring. Then “Rosario Tijeras” flipped the script, giving us gritty, sometimes brutal storylines that really stick with you. Honestly, Chava’s got this way of making even the most outrageous situations feel relatable. He’s not just turning cameras on and off; he’s capturing the weird, unpredictable pulse of life in Mexico, one project at a time.
