Meet the team
Ken Arquelio
Executive Producer
Ken Arquelio, of Puerto Rican descent, is the founder of Vincero Pictures and is a California-based Executive Producer, and currently resides in Palm Springs.
He was awarded a producing fellowship from the PGA Create Program and NALIP (National Association of Latino Independent Producers) in 2022 for DESERT RATS, a television pilot that he co-created and co-wrote.
A theatrically trained actor and theatre producer, Ken has worked in the entertainment industry for over twenty-five years. He played starring roles in the world premiere theater productions of RESURRECTION OF THE ANTS by Paul Fontana and INFINITE BLACK SUITCASE by EM Lewis, each in Hollywood, CA. Ken was also a producer and actor in the West Coast premiere of THE DYING GAUL by Craig Lucas earning rave reviews from DAILY VARIETY (“Arquelio is very strong, more complicated than he initially appears. His low-key but inexorable manipulation at the story’s beginning is expertly played”—DAILY VARIETY).
He is the writer/director of DISCO BEATS, starring Pepe Serna, a film that pays homage to disco music in the 1970’s that is currently in post production.
