How I made my six films
No production company, no grants, and shooting at weekends.
In these 34 minutes I tell you, film by film, how each one got made: where the
idea came from, what went wrong and what I'd do differently. It isn't a theory class. It's what really happened.

tablas», so when I say five, it's now six
What's inside:
– My first short film, shot at home with a borrowed camera and no tripod. And what I said to
the woman who is now my wife when I found her crying in the kitchen halfway through the shoot.
– El perro naranja — my first feature. I deliberately set out to find the most incorrect way
possible to open a film. That cost me a sale to an American TV channel.
– And what happened next with the sales agent who did sell it.
– Nueve bares — nine storylines in one film, when four is already more than risky. One
story for each bar in my city.
– Mirando al mar — the switch to drama, with a lead actress of almost ninety whom I met
at a premiere. I filled the poster with laurels and had to stop sending it to festivals.
– 12 months, 12 shorts — what I did when the pandemic stopped my fourth feature.
– Los días de la noche y Bruno, the riskiest project I've ever taken on.
And what if you want to make yours?
Everything I learned making these films is broken down in my courses. Not theory: the
real decisions, sequence by sequence.
