Director. He abandons his studies at Columbia University in New York to work at MGM, where he performs various functions for eleven years. Among other roles, he serves as an assistant on The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929) and, together with illustrator and draftsman Matías Santoyo, is one of the Mexican advisors during the filming in Mexico of the American movie Viva Villa! (Jack Conway, 1933). Carlos Navarro directs his only Mexican film—and apparently his only fiction feature—Janitzio (1934), a work celebrating Indigenous culture inspired by the Purépecha traditions of Michoacán.
