Born April 23rd, 2001, Josué Figueroa Márquez, known artistically as Monky Boy, is a Puerto Rican filmmaker and artist from Carolina, Puerto Rico. First known in the Puerto Rican art scene through a meme page called: "Comedia Epica", Josué had a lot to show creatively through the many memes, skits and short films posted on the page since 2019. When the COVID-19 pandemic stroke and nowhere else to go, Josue directed, edited and acted in his first short film under the indie film company; Guineo Video. Using only puppets and an iPhone, "ATASCAU" was born, a short film about doing film with only the resources you have around you and the struggles of the creative block. Years later, what was once going to be a low budget buddy cop short for Comedia Epica, he started developing a web series called: "Biombo".
