Freixas co-wrote and produced his first feature film, Magic City Memoirs , a coming of age story about three best friends juggling their lives, family, love, and futures during senior year of high school in the fast paced and temptation filled city of Miami. Magic City Memoirs went on to win awards at several film festivals before being released by Freestyle. The film was optioned to FOX and developed for scripted television.
Freixas co-wrote, produced, and directed the feature film Vandal, about the young leader of a legendary Miami graffiti crew as he comes of age. The film starred Daniel Zovatto, Otmara Marrero, Juan Pablo Raba, Dax Rudnak, and Beau Knapp, with Richard Schiff. Vandal was executive produced by the godfather of LA graffiti Kelly “Risk” Graval as well as Rob Weiss, writer/producer of HBO’s Entourage and Ballers. Vandal was released in 2021 by 1091 Pictures.
Freixas has also directed several branded short films and documentaries for Redbull, Bacardi, Audi, The Player’s Tribune, and most recently created and directed a music video for Miami legend Rick Ross entitled Little Havana.
Freixas’ production company focuses on developing, producing, and financing film, television, and digital content from a minority perspective, with a focus on Latino stories. He has been active on several Hispanic and Latin American-focused projects based on award-winning books such as The Corporation: An Epic Story of the Cuban Underworld by NY Times bestselling author T.J. English which tells the true story of the Cuban Mafia in America. The Corporation was the subject of a highly-publicized bidding war which resulted in a deal with Paramount Pictures, with Leonardo DiCaprio producing alongside Freixas and Benicio Del Toro set to star.
Freixas has also acquired the film and television rights to the National Book Award-winning memoir Waiting for Snow in Havana and Learning to Die in Miami by Carlos Eire, as well as a book based on the Pulitzer Prize finalist investigation Dirty Gold: The Rise and Fall of an International Smuggling Ring by Miami Herald journalists Jay Weaver, NIcholas Nehemas, Kyra Gurney, and Jim Wyss.
Freixas is currently working on TJ English’s next book The Last Kilo: Willie Falcon and the Cocaine Era that Seduced America which tells the story of Augusto “Willie” Falcon, who, along with partner Sal Magluta and a crew known as “Los Muchachos,” became the biggest cocaine smugglers in American history, smuggling over $20 Billion in a two-decade run. Based on exclusive interviews with Falcon, who, after serving a 27-year prison term, was deported upon release as immigration authorities sought to deport him to his native Cuba. The Last Kilo tells the story of Los Muchachos from the inside, by the man at the top.
