About
A chemistry major, I started working as a reporter and eventually made it to Columbia University with a CaixaBank-Fulbright Scholarship . I earnt my MFA with "Harlequin Exterminator" as thesis film.
After five years in NY I went back to Barcelona and shot "Intrepidíssima", another short film . I met Ana Simón Cerezo while volunteering in Arrels and we made our first no-budget long feature film "COSTA BRAVA " (Family Album) starring Desi del Valle. This Rom-Com had an amazing run in LGTB film festivals all over the world.
Three years later we shot an outrageous comedy "Honey ,I've sent the men to the Moon!" and we worked with very talented (and generous) actresses; Cookie Rufino, Laura Schrock, Claudia Carasso , Montserrat Gausachs and again, Desi del Valle.
Eventually we shot in Catalan and we made "SÉVIGNÉ" (Júlia Berkowitz) starring Anna Azcona and awarded Premi Nacional de Cultura.
Now you can see these films on FILMIN . Enjoy!
