Until the age of 18, he lived in a small mountain town, from where he decided to go to study cinema in Barcelona. He continued his studies in screenwriting in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, and won an award to do an official master’s degree in Digital Art. With his friends from college he founded a rock group that allowed him to tour different countries in Europe and the United States. After the adventure, he combined film editing with directing experimental pieces and teaching within the Cinema en Curs project. Amateur is his first documentary film project as a director.
