Introduction Leonel Alvarez grew up in Valencia, northern Venezuela where he hoped to become a paleontologist. This love for dinosaurs drew him to the movie Jurassic Park, which ironically killed his dreams of becoming a paleontologist. Why play with dead dinosaurs when he could bring dinosaurs back to life? He is now an animator and filmmaker in Atlanta GA, where he brings to life dinosaurs, British space gorillas and smoky nightmare spiders for films and video games.
