Award-winning creative company Entropico has signed Mateo Mejia, marking the Bogotá-born, Houston-raised filmmaker’s first official signing and a significant leap for the viral creator known for blending DIY realism, cinematic world-building, and experimental AI.
A self-taught innovator with millions of views and a cult following, Mejia has made a name for himself crafting “trailers for movies that don’t exist,” immersive, minute-long worlds that feel both handcrafted and cinematic. His hybrid style, part documentary, part fiction, part fever dream, pulls from classic cinema, trailer tropes, and the fast-cut energy of TikTok. One reel alone has racked up 8.1 million views.
Using everything from iPhones and CRT monitors to Blackmagic 6Ks and Midjourney, Mejia builds stories with heart, grit, and technical curiosity. “I like to make it feel like I’m a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none character from a ’90s film,” he says.
Mejia is also at the forefront of “generative video,” fusing live-action and AI-enhanced environments into work that feels both intimate and surreal. His ongoing series, Currently Stuck, explores creative doubt and digital overload with raw honesty and style.
“For us, Mateo represents the future of storytelling,” says Entropico CCO Joey Hunter. “He’s got vision, taste, and the guts to experiment. We’re thrilled to be his first creative and production home.”
Mejia is currently in production on a new short that fuses traditional cinematography with Veo 3, pushing his hybrid voice even further.
Reel 360 News wishes Mateo luck and can’t wait to see what comes next.
