Biography

Producer and director. BA in Audiovisual Languages and Media (IENBA). The core of his work as a producer, through OUROBOROS FILMS, is to support debut features and explore alternative models, seeking to promote a young auteur cinema that embraces formal risk and narrative experimentation. Along these lines, he produced the feature films "Frágil como cristal" (dir. Marco Valenti), selected for EAVE PUENTES UY and GEN J, and distributed internationally by SANTA CINE (ARG); and "Otro Día / Carta Abierta" (dir. Art Barkley), currently in post-production. He is currently developing "3 Canciones" (dir. Olivia Opizo) and was the executive producer for the series "El Universo Conspira" (dir. Leonardo Pintos), released on UN3TV and FILMIN. As a director, his research explores spectral geographies and bodies in trance. He is developing his debut feature, "Apagón", where the last summer of a group of teenagers is revealed as a rite of passage. His process, materialized in visual essays, treats the image as living matter: an incantation that invokes the latent memories of a territory to understand how they shape and fracture the identity of its inhabitants. He is the co-founder of ESPACIO ATENEO, a training platform for alternative production and exhibition models, and a member of the audiovisual collective Álamo. In 2026, he was selected with the project "Un lugar de verano" for Málaga Talent, the industry campus of the Málaga Film Festival (MAFIZ). In 2025, he received the Eduardo Víctor Haedo scholarship (FEFCA) to specialize in production at EICTV, and in 2024 he participated in the Locarno Industry Academy (FICUNAM).
