Rigoberto Castañeda studied at the Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica. Based on the legend of La Llorona, he wrote and directed his first feature film, Kilometer 31 (2007), produced by Lemon Films and distributed by Videocine, becoming the highest grossing Mexican horror film of all time and triumphing in the awards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Mexico by winning five Arieles. His film career was followed by the psychological thriller Blackout (2008); the acclaimed horror anthology series, M13DOS, for Televisa; and his debut as a producer with Reencarnación (2012), inspired by the book "Murder in a Chinese laundry", by the Mexican writer Juan José Rodríguez. The television series Terminals are added; as well Paramedics; and Señora Acero, among others, in addition to the award-winning series for Disney, Hasta que te conocí, which portrays the famous Mexican singer Juan Gabriel. In 2018 he directed Diablero, a Netflix original series with a novel concept of horror comedy and demon hunters. The film Sin Origen, which finished filming in early 2020, is a magnificent nod to the vampire subgenre, consolidating Rigoberto Castañeda as one of the greatest exponents of Mexican horror cinema.
