Mangosta (3-Act Play)
One day. One neighborhood: As a working-class college student juggles studies, work, and the weight of life’s pressure, emotional and financial debts put a young man’s future on the line. Mangosta is a raw, heartfelt coming-of-age drama about brotherhood, choices, and the cost of standing still.
It Never Rains in Southern California (Feature)
When a driven underachiever finally finds love worth building for, he reinvents his life to become the man he thinks she deserves — only to discover that unchecked ambition can cost him everything that truly mattered.
Lechuza (Short Film)
A girl in 1980s South Texas hears a bedtime story that uncovers her family’s ancestral magic—and her own. A shape-shifter's coming-of-age told in whispers, wings, and inherited warnings.
Incalculable (Short Film)
When a gifted musician’s big break falls apart, sending her into a spiral of addiction and self-doubt, it’s the loyalty and humor of her best friend, an unshakable young man with cerebral palsy, that helps her find her way back to purpose, recovery, and the stage of life.

About
I write to translate what doesn't get said at the dinner table. My name is Felix Izel, some of my friends call me Gato, feel free to do the same. These stories are mine in the way family legends are: real enough to make you feel human, strange enough to make you wonder about the supernatural. Influenced by the chapters I've lived in my own life, I've crafted some stories to share. These are the ones I’m betting on.
