Biography
Joaquin Dominguez is a writer, producer, and actor known for his long-running collaborations with filmmaker Mike Cuenca. He co-wrote and produced Watch Them Come Blood, contributing to the project’s raw, character-driven approach and DIY production ethos. As an actor, Dominguez is best known for portraying Bobby Cardona in Cuenca’s Boys About Town series, a performance developed and captured in real time across seven years and four films. The role stands out for its naturalistic evolution, blending fiction and lived experience as the character ages, changes, and accumulates consequence on screen. Dominguez frequently works in independent productions rooted in guerrilla filmmaking, non-actors, and long-form character studies. His work spans writing, producing, and acting, often within the same projects, with a focus on authenticity, collaboration, and sustained creative partnerships.
