Biography

I was born in Lleida (Spain) on October 13th 1972. My childhood memories are vague. Like editing a film, my mind has erased the boring bits and kept the most interesting ones. One of them is the Super 8 projector that my father bought when I was a child. I still don’t know if my passion for cinema was incubated in the living room of my house or when I discovered Hitchcock.

I moved to Amsterdam in 1997 and to Brussels in 2000. In 2001 I moved to London, where I graduated in Film and Media at the Birkbeck University of London. Over the following years, I attended various directing, producing, and screenwriting workshops in the United States, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Spain.

Since then I have directed short fiction films, feature documentary films and corporate videos. My work has won more than 130 awards in festivals around the world.

I have also written novels, plays, poetry, short stories and children tales. My novel 21 Days of Rage won the Morella Negra Award 2021 for Best Thriller Novel published in Spain by a first time author. My following novel Where Giants Die, was finalist at the prestigious Azorín Novel Award 2025.

I also work as a directing and screenwriting professor at the Catalan School of Cinema and Television (www.eccit.es) in Lleida (Spain), and at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (United States). Among my work as a script doctor is Death of a Shadow (Dood van een Schaduw) by Belgian director Tom van Avermaet, a film that was nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Film.
