Explorers
In some city in the year 2040. The Earth is threatened by a strange "disease" that affects the sun. Julia, an ESA astrophysicist, is in charge of launching a mission with the aim of finding a solution that will save humanity. After her misunderstanding with Eric, her partner at ESA and having lost all hope of overcoming the barrier of friendship with him, Julia will start on a journey looking, also, for a new opportunity for her, but finally nothing will happen she as to expect.

Explorers is my first film as a director and I have been fortunate to have a GREAT TEAM that has worked in productions such as Avengers (Marvel), Dolor y Gloria, Todo sobre mi madre (Pedro Almodóvar), El Bar, 30 Monedas (Álex De La Iglesia), Terminator Dark Fate (Tim Miller), Escenario 0 (HBO Spain), El Vecino (Netflix Spain) Love, Death & Robots (Netflix), Games of Thrones (HBO), Un monstruo viene a verme (J.A Bayona) etc
During my training as a producer, I co-wrote a web series, Operación Benicasim, which was part of the Antena 3 web catalog. I began as a meritorious for TVE fictions such as Stamos Okupa2 and television programs such as Espejo Público. I worked as a production assistant on the film El Cosmonauta financed entirely through crowdfunding and filmed between Latvia and Spain. As a freelance, I have produced different short films and commercials for companies such as the Red Cross, Coca Cola, Kellogg's, Levi's etc. For three years I have worked as a production assistant on short films, spots and other audiovisual content such as VR (Vysion360) in Lekanto, a production company with base in Madrid where I have also developed the work of head of fiction projects in development. I have been part of the production coordination team for Escenario 0, an HBO Spain series produced by Bárbara Lennie, Irene Escolar and José Luis Escolar (Calle Cruzada). I am currently part of the production of the By Ana Milan series, by Buendía Estudios / Atresmedia for the AtresPlayer tv platform.
Based on my deep admiration for the science fiction genre, I decided to write the script for Explorers at a time when a question often hung around my head. Do we own our destiny? If something doesn't have to happen is it worth all the effort we make?
Explorers tells the story of someone who does not give up, who does not accept that there are things beyond our control and who tries in any way to get what he wants.
