Begining in 1998, In addition to interactive movies at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center, Avila has done work for Sony, Motorola, Lennox, Compaq, IBM, AMD, assisted independent filmmakers in their marketing presentations, and released two digital movie shorts. All as a part of an entertainment based company, Humancode, in Austin, Texas, where Avila performed the duties of Graphic Designer, 2D and 3D Artist, Flash Programmer, Storyboard Artist, Compositor, Director and Motion Graphics / Special FX artist.

Leaving Humancode in 2000, Avila created his first DBA, Dementia7.com and set to work full-time on his feature projects. Meeting with Tony Hobdy in fall 2001, they created the company Dementia7 Studios llc. in order to produce and develop Avila's extensive list of feature projects. Their first, D7Peacemaker™ - Stage1, had a fantastic premier at A-Kon 13 in Dallas, TX on June 1, 2002, filling the presentation hall twice. Following the premier Stage1 enjoyed a remarkable run in local retail stores and due to the style, developed interest among larger public distributors and local theaters.

Cultivating this momentum, Avila wrote his first screenplay, the sequel to Stage1 entitled Prodigal Child, set for full feature length. This would be followed by two other features, WeaponNext and Final Protocol, completing the D7Peacemaker™ Saga. Moving into pre production of the first feature Prodigal Child, Avila released this footage to the public and as a result, demand grew enormously. Now in full pre production of Prodigal Child, Avila heads straight into the saga while continuing to develop D7Studio's many other projects. Utilizing his variety of talents in both creating the concept and visualizing the universe, Avila also contributes with website design, character design, screenwriting, animatics and much more.

Avila looks forward to cultivating his many future projects as well as moving farther into the fields of Clothing Design, Merchandise and Video Game translation of the feature projects.
