Director Biography - Eduardo Macal

He was born in the state of Mexico, near Mexico City. That helped him get closer to the people of the capital.

In his childhood, he was fascinated by the world of cinema thanks to the Hollywood industry, which made him question about the film industry in Mexico. This impelled him to want to have a university degree and be imbued with academic knowledge.

He studied an introductory course in the former University Center for Cinematographic Studies of the UNAM, now the National School of Cinematographic Arts, and continued in a private university, the Mexican Association of Independent Filmmakers. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Business in Film and Television.

In the university he made several student shorts, including two considered official, and practiced his skills in the narration of family melodrama, romantic melodrama, science fiction, suspense and horror.

After his school life he worked in television as an editor, producer and director in several projects. He perfected his audiovisual technique in advertising, producing other short films and attending different film projects.

He is currently preparing his Opera Prima.
