INSIDE YOUR HEAD
Rodolfo Marroquín Playwright
Originally from Santiago de Querétaro, he began writing short stories and poetry since he was 10. He wanted to become a doctor, later an executive chef but dropped out from both. In the end, the stars aligned and showed him the way back to writing after living briefly in Oslo, Norway. He moved to Mexico City and began his major in Modern English Literature while working on his craft and passion: writing and telling stories.
Since then, he has worked subtitling series and movies, as a freelance writer for private companies, and as a translator for movie projects in the U.S. (with MGM, Amazon, and other independent films). Starting from 2020, he has been working for Frank Ariza, the Spaniard director, writer, and producer of movies and series. Throughout 2020 he worked in parallel writing the screenplay for a short film. The last year challenged him the most but provided him with the time and spark needed to finish his first book, a novel, which is scheduled to be published next year.
