Writer Biography - Nacho Campa, Guillermo G Fidalgo

Graduated in animation from U-Tad in the summer of 2023, although he already has a long background in high-level projects such as Dragon Keeper (Dragoia Media), Ember (The SPA Studios) or Spellbound (Skydance Animation). He has experience in various departments and aspects of a production (production, clean-up, 3D animation...), which gives him a clear and broad vision of each project and pipeline. Recently he was a producer and, together with Guillermo G. Fidalgo, led the animation of a short film entitled Ciao Peskao (2023), which has been selected more than 10 times in its festival tour. Currently, Nacho works as a crowd animator at Pookoo, a new project at Skydance Animation.

Writer Statement

When I was 17 I heard two friends say that the best order to put your clothes on was to start with the socks, then the t-shirt and then your underwear. I have been trying to find some sense in that statement since then.

Calcetines comes from my eagerness to find some logic to that order.
Calcetines is a comedy short film focused in dialogue and in double meanings. Inspired by my love for Spanish dubbing, dialogue, and drawing, this project plays with the confusion of the audience to end up in a burst of laughter, taking the chance to awaken a silly thought in the spectator: “what’s the best order to put your clothes on”.

Animation tends to fall into futurism, fantasy, sci-fy… But I believe it can go beyond that, diving into more quotidian plots where dialogue is at the core of the narrative. Animation lets us manipulate the smallest detail of the production, allowing us to explore and represent attitudes, thoughts and characters without the limitations of live action cinema.

Calcetines aims to be my directorial debut, a cover letter that revindicates animation as a medium to tell stories beyond stereotypes.
