Directing style

Menendez builds tension and mystery through a highly consistent eye-level perspective, favoring medium shots and closeups that isolate subjects within a shallow depth of field. Visual narratives unfold primarily in dark interiors and night exteriors, where the atmosphere is shaped by practical fixtures, sunlight, and occasional firelight or streetlamps. The color design leans heavily into cool, desaturated tones, supported by a palette of muted grays, dark charcoals, and earthy, shadowy browns.
