Biography

After studying Art and Drawing, he began shooting several short films presented in festivals around the world.

In 2009, he co-directed and wrote the art-house feature film Myna Has Gone[1] alongside Sonia Escolano, which tells the story of a young illegal immigrant and the problems that she has to face in Spain. This film won as Narrative Feature Special Jury Recognition for Acting in Austin Film Festival.[2] It also was part of Official Selection in Athensfest,[3] Les Rencontres des Cinémas d'Europe,[4] at France, o el The Bronx Independent,[5] at New York, among other film festivals.

In 2017, after returning from a retirement in France, he shot the feature film Black Hollow Cage,[6] a sci-fi drama that tells the story of Alice, a girl traumatized by the loss of her arm that lives in an isolated house in the woods with the only company of her father and a wolf dog. One fine day, the girl finds a strange cubic device in the woods that will allow her to change the past.

Black Hollow Cage won the Jury's Prize in Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival[7] in Korea, the most important genre festival in Asia. Moreover, it obtained Official Selection in Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival,[8] Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival[9] and Raindance[10] (Nominated to Best Film, Best Script for Sadrac González-Perellón and Best Actress for Lowena McDonell).

In 2018 he made his first film as a producer, House of Sweat and Tears,[11] directed by Sonia Escolano. The film is presented in Frontiéres in the Cannes Film Festival.[12] Subsequently, the movie got to enter in the official section of one of the most important film festivals in the world, the Fantastic Fest,[13] in Austin.

In 2022 he released his next feature film Amazing Elisa,[14] a drama and thriller film that intertwines several characters where Elisa, a girl of twelve who thinks she's a superhero, lives with her father after her mother's death. It stars Asier Etxeandia, Silvia Abascal, Iván Massagué and the young actress Jana San Antonio as Elisa.[15] The film is being presented at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival[16] and the Fantastic Fest,[17] receiving very good reviews from the festival.[18]
