Salas earned a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he pioneered a focus on narrative film production within a fine arts setting and developed a distinct visual voice. He received an MFA from Florida State University’s College of Motion Picture Arts, where he was awarded the prestigious Jacob K.

After refining his craft on independent films and commercials, Salas transitioned into television, earning critical acclaim and an Emmy nomination for his work on Ozark.
