Born in Borikén (Puerto Rico), Franklin López has been stirring up trouble with his camera since he was 17. In 1994, he founded subMedia, a platform for radical films spotlighting grassroots anti-capitalist and anti-colonial struggles, eco-defense, and Indigenous sovereignty. After producing hundreds of films and mentoring budding filmmakers, Franklin left subMedia to dive into long-form documentaries and launched Amplifier Films.
