Jesús Salvador Treviño is a writer/director whose science fiction television directing credits include Seaquest DSV, Star Trek: Voyager, Babylon Five, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

His national PBS documentaries about Latinos and the Chicano struggle include America Tropical, Yo Soy Chicano, La Raza Unida, Chicano Moratorium, The Salazar Inquest and Birthwrite. He was Co-Executive Producer of the PBS documentary series, Chicano! History of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement. He wrote and directed the Mexican feature film Raices De Sangre (Roots of Blood) and Seguin, an American Playhouse drama of the Alamo saga told from a Mexican American point of view. More recently, he has served as Co- Executive Producer of the Showtime series, Resurrection Blvd. Treviño has won dozens of national and international awards and recognitions including (twice) the prestigious Directors Guild of America award and an Alma award for Outstanding Director of a Television drama and an Alma award as Co-Executive Producer of Resurrection Boulevard, Best Prime-time drama series.
