During this time, Suarez became close to legendary Spanish filmmaker Sr. Don Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi, and learned the rudiments of movie directing. Armed with this new skill, and to help meet the growing demand for movies worldwide, Suarez next ventured into producing and directing movies, creating many low-budget quality English films featuring both Caucasian and Asian actors.
