Geronimo Tzikin

Geronimo Tzikin is the Director of Film Production for My Clean Ocean — leading the visual storytelling that turns underwater footage into films capable of changing how communities see the sea.

A Colombian filmmaker by training, Geronimo's career has been recognized at festivals across the Americas. He produced the feature Pandemonium (2020), which won Best Picture at the International Panama Horror Film Festival and opened the 37th edition of the Bogocine Film Festival.

What drew him to My Clean Ocean is what shaped his own path. Raised in Colombia, Geronimo attended Instituto Paulo Freire High School before earning a full scholarship to Manuela Beltran University, where he completed his bachelor's degree in film production. That scholarship — a door opened to a young person from outside the industry — is the same door My Clean Ocean opens every day for the students in our programs.
