bio

I joined the University of Seville (where I am from) to study a 5-year degree in Audiovisual Communication. With a group of like-minded friends, we created our own production company and produced everything from short films to music videos and commercials.

2008

Seneca at the University of Valencia and the first time living by myself. Big change. There was no going back.

2011

Last year of university, I landed in Leeuwarden (The Netherlands) for my Erasmus year. I didn't know it yet, but these 12 months were going to change my life and my mindset forever.

2012

Spanish crisis. When I returned from the Netherlands I had a massive post-Erasmus depression and there were no jobs (and especially not in Seville). I used to spend the day in pyjamas, depressed and sending CVs. Pitiful. I couldn't continue like this, so on February I packed my bags and went to London (very original).

2014

I had never worked in anything, I had not done any internship, I had not studied at the London Film School and I had no contacts or a father who could get me a job in a production company. My first job was in a secret club in a cloakroom dealing with drunk people who would tip you £50 when they were happy. I also started making videos for a Caribbean halal restaurant where there were no Caribbean people. My diet consisted of instant noodles and I shared the bed with a friend.

Little by little I began to make small projects with the independent award-winning production company Camelot Films. After many months of blood, sweat and tears I was hired at Ridley Scott's company: RSA Films. Yes, the very director of Thelma & Louise, Alien or Blade Runner. I had to pinch myself in case I was dreaming.

2015

From then on, the projects began to come up one after another: Hollywood blockbusters, Bollywood, music videos, commercials in Ibiza... Working with all those whom I had always seen on the big screen and even directing my own projects.

2016

But anyone who has lived in London knows that it is a city that you love and hate at the same time, a toxic relationship. That is why after almost 5 years, I decided it was time to return to Spain, so I submitted my resignation to Mr Scott and I said bye-bye Great Britain.
