Edward Robles is a Creative Director, writer, and filmmaker born and raised in Chicago, USA. Upon graduating from Columbia College Chicago in 2013, he was shortlisted for the Emerging Filmmaker Award by the Chicago Film Critics association. After beginning his time in Los Angeles in commercial production, Edward found footing in the immersive arts, working with creators like Chris Milk, Shekhar Kapur, and Kathryn Bigelow in the burgeoning medium of VR. In 2017 he created, wrote, and directed DISPATCH, an animated cinematic VR narrative, which received overwhelming acclaim for its innovation, and is touted as one of the best VR narratives to date. The four-part experience premiered in competition at the 2017 La Biennale di Venezia Film Festival and the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and won a Gold Lion at Cannes 2018. It is now released on the Oculus platform. As a writer and director, Edward coaxes the audience to explore social and cultural ills, often through the lens of genre. His most recent short, TESLA, about an autonomous car ridding the world of carbon pollutants one pedestrian at a time, is hitting festivals in 2022. Edward is currently a Creative Director at Nexus Studios, Los Angeles, overseeing cutting-edge filmic & experiential content.
