Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Estevan Muñoz got his first taste for self-expression as a young actor at his elementary school's theater program under the direction of Patricio Trujillo. From there onward to college, Estevan wrote and acted and directed short films, starred in University of New Mexico theater productions, and co-wrote and acted in a feature-length film he made with his brother, "Este Does Not Make A Movie". Having lived in both Portland and NYC, Estevan quickly found more screen-acting and writing opportunities, most notably starring in Rocko Zevenbergen's feature length film "I Need You Dead", and Kenichi Ugana's "I Fell In Love With A Z-Grade Director in Brooklyn".
