Sepúlveda was born in Concepción, Chile. He lived the first 18 years of his life between Europe and South America due to his family's exile from Chile during the military regime. On return to Santiago in 1990, he began studying history. Towards the end of the 1990s Sepúlveda studied at two prestigious film schools, La Fémis in Paris (screenwriting) and Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión, San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba (editing) and began creating his first short films.cite-ref-1[1]

He was involved in editing and writing a number of films in the 2000s, including Young and Wild (2012).

Sepúlveda's directorial debut was the documentary O Areal (The Sandpit), about the Guajará community in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest.

Sepúlveda received funding from Fonds Sud cinema (managed by France's Institut Français) to create his next film as director, The Quispe Girls.cite-ref-2[2] The film was based on the true story of the Quispe sisters who died in mysterious circumstances in 1974 and stars Catalina Saavedra as well as Digna Quispe, the niece of one of the Quispe sisters.
