Director Statement

Open to fiction, documentary and hybrid projects, I strongly believe in an independent cinema with its origins in low-budget European cinema and always deliberately critical and reflective.

Respect for history and the legacy of the filmmakers who have led the way pointing out that form and substance are inseparable. Work and exploration of cinematographic forms as the key to any cinematographic process.

With an economic planning far from waste and a work philosophy focused on creativity and perseverance, I am determined and willing to build an independent cinema that approaches what is essential.

I want to contribute and give my best to Catalan, Spanish and Worldwide international cinema.
