While studying science at his high school, Pablo Hoyos participates in a casting from the Spanish director Jonás Trueba, where he ends up being chosen as the leading actor in his feature film "The Reconquest" (2016). Thanks to this, he meets some professionals in the sector who encourage him to continue studying this profession, in addition to being able to live the experience of visiting festivals, such as being invited to the Official Section of the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
After this feature film, Jonás tells Pablo to do another project called "Quién lo impide" (2018). There, he also participates as an actor as a screenwriter and helps with camera and sound. It is during this filming that he meets Sancho Javiérez, who participates as an actor. Bought become friends and decide to found their own production company, "Producciones Pachorra".
Since 2017 they continue working together to improve as filmmakers. Pablo has focused more on the technical and production section, without forgetting the artistic part, while Sancho continues to improve in script writing and actors direction. They have made numerous sketches that have been published on the YouTube platform until, in 2019, they decided to take a leap and carry out a more ambitious project, "Grow". A short film with a very elaborate pre-production and where they have had the help of other young students in the sector.
