WHO I'M NOT
I'm not a specialist
but instead, I'm quite versatile. I graduated in Philosophy and Anthropology at UAB; then I studied a Master's in Film at UPF along with another one in Economic History at UB; and in the meantime, I worked in various fields of audiovisual production. In my approach to projects, all of these disciplines naturally overlap.
I'm not a psychologist
but I know how to listen attentively. As an anthropology student, I did extensive fieldwork and I learned that when you pay close attention to someone and show genuine interest in what they have to say, important things always happen. I believe we should emphasize listening more as a fundamental value.
I'm not a scientist
but I aspire to bring about understandable order. I accept the inherent
chaos in creative processes, but my way of contributing to them involves
proposing overarching visions that provide guidance. My studies in
philosophy equipped me with analytical and abstract thinking skills that
I try to apply to everything I do.
I'm not an academic
but I feel comfortable in the university, and I love teaching. I prepare my courses thoroughly and thoroughly enjoy researching and organizing ideas and concepts. I really believe that you don't truly master a complex subject until you can convey it clearly and simply.
WHO I AM
I am a writer
I am a screenwriter
because I believe that the tools of this trade are very useful in a world based on communication. I see everywhere inciting incidents, generation of expectations, principles of antagonism and narrative archetypes. I believe that as screenwriters we can make positive contributions not only to audiovisuals, but to society as a whole.
I am a filmmaker
because being behind a camera is a wonderful way to interact with the world. It allows you to meet fascinating people, work as a team and, in the editing room, experience the intense pleasure of making all the pieces fit together. It's not usually easy, but it's always worth it.
I am a conversationalist
because a good conversation is a party I never want to miss. Under the right conditions, a conversation unravels projects, clarifies thinking, accelerates imagination and charges vitality. I try to generate conversations like that whenever I can, both at work and outside of it. And if they happen around a good table, much better.
Am I forgetting something...?
Perhaps I should add that I was born in Barcelona in 1979, that I still live in this city (although I have spent some time in France and in the United States) and that I have traveled a lot through Africa, Europe and America. And that my work philosophy is based on the wise advice that one day I received from teacher Joaquím Jordà: "the seret is turning comissions into desires and desires into comissions."
