He got his start in film as a Camera Operator on the Peabody Award-winning, Sundance series "Brick City" and went onto direct a true passion project, The Sentence (HBO). Shot and directed by Valdez over the course of a decade, this feature documentary tells the very personal story of his sister's plight in the criminal justice system while tackling subjects like mandatory minimums and sentencing reform.
