OMAR GARCÍA

Hola!

I started in television at CNI 40, learning how stories come together inside a newsroom. I later landed my dream job at ESPN Deportes, editing highlights, teasers, and sports packages for SportsCenter, where timing, reliability, and camaraderie were part of making the best sports show at night.

From there, I got the chance to explore sports beyond scores and highlights. At Estadio TV, I produced alongside sportscaster legend Georgina González, Alma Canchera, a TV documentary show following amateur athletes and different sides of sports culture. Televisa took me out of sports and into something else entirely: the kitchen and around Mexico, as a field producer and cinematographer for Al Sabor del Chef with Alfredo Oropeza.

​

Then I moved to the U.S. I started traveling around the country, filmed in the forests of Washington State for the North Cascades Institute, tried cheese curds in Wisconsin, survived some wild snow days in Pennsylvania, and presented my first short film at the Boonies festival.

I eventually landed in Washington, DC, where I knocked on Telemundo's door. What started with production, editing, and camerawork grew into copywriting, branding, and marketing strategy. I had a blast directing campaigns and working with great teams. Along the way, the work earned some hardware: 19 Capital Emmy® Awards.

Outside television, I created IMAGEIN LLC to work independently with nonprofits and brands. Photography and art opened another door, from digital and analog experiments to collaborations with talented artists and institutions like the Museo del Juguete and the National Portrait Gallery.

​

Culture, music, food, sports, and travel keep finding their way into my work, they’re always part of the frame.
