ESPAÑOL

Hola, soy un cineasta español (Zamora, 1986) afincado en Londres. Mis cortometrajes se han proyectado en festivales de cine internacionales e instituciones como el Guggenheim Bilbao, CaixaForum Barcelona, MCA Sídney y MAXXI Roma. OUT se proyectó en más de 50 festivales y actualmente está disponible en FILMIN. Graduado en Coumnicacion Audiovisual por la University of the Arts London y con un Diploma Avanzado en Guion por la EICTV (Cuba), soy alumni de Berlinale Talents y BFI Network x BAFTA Crew.

Me gusta contar historias que retratan con luces y sombras a las personas LGBTQ+ y de clase obrera. Mi primer largometraje, LA PRESA, ha iniciado su etapa de financiación con Centuria Films y Begin Again (Madrid), y se ha desarrollado en laboratorios como B3 Hessen Lab, Islas de Ficción (2022) y Queer Cine Lab (Proyecto Ganador, 2023). El proyecto también participó en la Red Iberoamericana de Laboratorios LGBTIQA+ del 72º Festival Internacional de Cine de San Sebastián (2024) y forma parte de la III Residencia de Cine de Extremadura (2025/26).

Actualmente estoy en posproducción del documental SONORA (White Horse, Barcelona) y trabajo como Office Manager en One Of Us London.
