He participated in companies such as Cinematográfica Marco Polo and DASA Films, and held various positions in the Directors Section of the Union of Cinematographic Production Workers (STPC). Since the 1960s, he was an active promoter in Mexico against the "closed door policy" of said union, that is, the refusal to enter new talents into the Mexican film industry due to the control exercised in the union by different characters forged in the so-called Golden Age of the cinema of that country. In this same tenor, he was a promoter of cinematographic cooperatives formed by the union of filmmakers and producers against the prevailing current in the cinema of Mexico of the seventies of low quality productions. The example of these cooperatives was the Río Mixcoac cooperative. It defended the making of artistic or author's films by participating in the Nuevo Cine collective.
