Director, Screenwriter and Editor of the film Johan, shot in Italy and Spain, with spanish lead Norberto Trujillo from Hierro Season 2 (Movistar+). Johan is my first full length feature film and through it I have lived some of the hardest periods of my life. Nor only was this my first film in which I was directing a foreign crew, in a foreign country, in a foreign language. I also had to shoot in Italy while my country was falling into economic crisis. I then had to move to Spain while editing the film. Then I had to go shoot the last couple of scenes to the Canary Islands during the 2020 Covid pandemic. After facing all of that and comming out with the results we did, I feel that I can tackle any challenge.

​As a storyteller I believe that stories can only have as much worth as the characters that embody them. I apply this concept to every medium I partake in. Characters are my main focus whether it be film, theatre, books, acting, photography or publicity. This is something that can be seen clearly throughout all of my works.

On a professional sense, the five core concepts that I apply to every job and I expect from everyone working with me are: Punctuality, Tidiness, Proactivity, Creativity and Compromise. I believe that to function as a group it is key for everyone to be on time on their post, orderly, willing to help each other, seeking to solve issues before they appear and commited to the project until it is finished.
