Mauricio Odremán Nieto

José Mauricio Odremán Nieto was born in October 1926 and grew up in Tumeremo, a mining town in Bolívar State, where his family has him born; one encyclopaedia says he was born in Port of Spain. A painter and writer as much as a filmmaker, drawn to the fantastic, alchemy and the country's folklore, he published stories, including the Cuentos extraños that the publisher El Perro y la Rana reissued in the twenty-first century. For Clemente de la Cerda he wrote the short film El rostro oculto and the feature film Sin fin. He died in Caracas on 13 July 2004.
