He has also worked as a grip/electric on numerous independent features like: "Beyond the Pale", "Four Deadly Reasons", "Fire Dancer", and "Secret of the Andes".

In addition to films, Mr. Colon has worked for several film/video production companies: Citicam Film/Video Services, JDM Productions, and Atlantic Television. Luis' work experience flourished while freelancing for these companies. He had the opportunity to work on everything from "Martha Stewart Living" to "Crossing Over with John Edwards" to commercials, music videos, and infomercials.
