In 2014 Genaro's first short film, Death Sentence, envisions a society in which education is used as a form of oppression, was selected by the 2014 Yonkers Film Festival as one of the six films to premiere at their opening night program.
His next project, Blonde Amy, a fantasy-dark comedy explores the thin line between love and obsession, premiered in 2017 at the Revolution Me Film Festival. It won multiple awards including the audience awards at both The Iron Mule Short Comedy Film Festival and the Yonkers Film Festival.
