ABOUT

CJ Torres [he/him] is a Puerto Rican-born, award-nominated screenwriter and director working at the intersection of culture and narrative.

Marked by a relentless obsession with otherness, Carlos’ work often explores the tyranny of cycles, structures of power, and the way they influence personal identity. His writing gravitates toward rebellious, high-concept stories that utilize genre as a universally accessible framework for shared meaning.

Since 2022, CJ has worked as Creative Director and founding partner at NO BORDERS, an independent creative studio specialized in the development of original narrative content. Their next project FALLEN SKIES, an adult sci-fi animated series, is set to release its first chapter in 2027.
