About
I'm the director of the much-anticipated feature documentary "The Rise Of The Synths", narrated on-screen by the iconic director John Carpenter (The Thing, Halloween). It was shot in 2 years in more than 8 countries after a successful crowdfunding campaign. It was developed in the prestigious program “Documentary Campus Masterschool” (2017) and has been selected in international film festivals as “IFFR”, “In-Edit”, “DocnRoll”, “Dock of the bay” and “F.A.M.E.”.

I’ve worked as the main editor for feature films as “Justi&cia” (2014) and “Many Pieces of something” (2015, Festival de cine de Malaga), or the feature documentary “El precio de la risa” (2017), as well as for music videos (Vetusta Morla) and commercials (Women’s Secret, Pikolin).
> I direct music videos, commercials, narratives & documentaires: Cinematics and strong-visual style is what defines my style.
> I edit feature films both narrative & documentaries, commercials, film trailers & teasers: I’ve always been a self-taught artist. With 20 years’ experience, I believe that what I do is much more than just cutting and moving shots in my timeline.
I’m lucky enough to work worldwide and I switch fluently between Spanish, French and English.
So, this is me. An experienced and self-taught director who will work on each shot as it is his last. If you think we can work together in something, I’ll love to hear about it.
